Storm hits the country.

Sep 27, 2009 16:30

A lot of you must have heard of the storm that hit the Philippines yesterday. A month's worth of rainfall in six hours, record breaking in the past forty years, etc etc. People camping out on their roofs because of how high the water was. This country needs a fucking break. I'm half hoping there'll be work tomorrow, because that would mean that ( Read more... )

family in general, the bad, philippines

PUTANG INA TALAGA. sajkdhasjkd I was worried nga kasi wala kaming second floor. Pano kaya kung umakyat ng todo yung tubig, di ba?!

Go up the roof and then I'll take my table and row towards your house!!

I seriously, seriously hope we're never going to have to see a storm like this one again.

Fuck yeah. I don't think our people can take this much of a beating over and over. It's just hasgdsajdagjd I WISH OUR COUNTRY CAN TAKE A BREAK.

D: Indeed, and our family came out generally unscathed compared to some of the others.

*speechless* Holy mother of--
I'm so sorry this happened to you - even though you said you're alright, that level of destruction is insane. I saw pictures on the news, but yours, with the before-after comparision, show how bad it was/is a lot better. I hope you'll be okay D:

Our situation at home is really lucky! We were pretty much back to normal after just a few hours, and apart from the wading and the rigorous mopping, there wasn't much that we had to do. We didn't lose electricity either, or water. In other parts of the city, just a stone's throw away, people were forced to stay on their roofs, or climb to the second floor of their neighbor's where the water is still coming in. Khursten has a terrible account of it here, too, and she said she was already at the higher part of their street. alksdkajsd idfk anymore. So worried for everyone.

askjdhajk The thing is, we're used to our streets becoming rivers in Manila. My school was often jokingly called the River of Taft because Taft avenue turned into a mess of murk during rainy season. But it just turned into a frigging lake.

I'm glad we came out of it good, too. Some provinces nearby was reported to be 100% underwater last night.
