Major cities in Metro Manila were already declared under state of calamity due to severe flooding in most areas. And there was a rising number of casualties as of this moment. [here] Number coding were also lifted for a week to give way to those who need to attend to their families who were affected by the typhoon and for government authorities to repairs roads. [here]
We're one of the fortunate people who were spared from the Typhoon Ondoy's tragedy. We stayed at home, safe and sound. And we are very thankful for that.
It was raining since friday night. I was in Ortigas. As usual, mahirap nanaman sumakay at mahaba na ang pila ng taxi sa megamall. I asked Mannix to fetch me.
On Saturday morning, September 28, 2009, It was still raining. [I believe it was raining all night that we had to turn the aircon off.] The amount of rainfall is consistent. [Ndi mahangin pero malakas and buhos ng ulan.] I thought, Jen, Yvonne's yaya, was only kidding me when she told me that it was already flooding outside. I went outside and saw that the street across our house is at knee-level already. Lexah, our car, was parked outside and it was almost half-dipped into water. We moved her two houses away, where it is higher.
The cable was out by then so we only have updates from AM Radio.
It is really shocking when we saw videos and photos from youtube and facebook. All we can do as of that time is to pray for them.
Pagasa said there are two more tropical depression that may hit Philippines within this week. [here]:( Let's just hope they would change their path. hayz!
How can we help the Ondoy victims?
