Typhoon update.
Karen & dad got back around 6pm last night. By that time, a state of calamity was declared in Metro Manila, with 100% of Cainta submerged. A month's worth of rain fell in just 6 hours. I've never ever ever seen floods this bad in my whole life.
BBC video --> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8276347.stm I think this was yesterday.
My friend's house was flooded up to the second floor. pics and blog
This is how bad UERM was this morning --> http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=281979720576
Now it's a light drizzle where I am, and the storm is headed northwest. Thankfully, floodwaters in some places have receded, but there are still thousands of families that need to be rescued in low areas.
If your area was not heavily affected & you would like to help with relief efforts, please check here for details: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/173256/3-drop-off-areas-designated-for-ondoy-victims-donations
And ugh Globe & PLDT are both down so I have no way of contacting people except through the net, but a lot of areas are without power, too. D:
