Typhoon Ondoy
Before, I never really paid attention to the victims of typhoons in the Philippines but when you are the victim of the current Typhoon Ondoy, you feel empathy for the past victims you've just ignored. I am still thankful, that my family and I are safe.
It was the scariest experience of my life. I thought the water would come up to the second floor. My mom and I were able to save some stuff like photographs, the appliances and some goods from my grandfather's store but everything else was flooded. My brother was stuck in Lasalle yesterday and he just came home today.
It started out with this. I really thought it wouldn't be worst than that. Taken 10:26 am.
But then it went inside our house, so we started turning off the electricity and putting the appliances on the 2nd floor. Taken 10:53 am.
Then by 3:15 pm. The water was almost at the neck-level. Notice the hood of the red car, the water was that deep.
These were the people trying to get home. Taken around 3:33 pm.
By 4:22, the water-level is going down. The red car was my marker.
The aftermath...
Nakataob na yun ref.
We spent the whole day cleaning our house. It's almost back to normal. I hope the classes resumes this Wednesday, I'm not in the mood to study.
