TK-2155 Luis here guys. As you know during saturday last week Manila got hit hard by typhoon Ondoy(Ketsana). A lot of people lost their homes and lives. Floods and waters rose till neck deep in some areas. The rivers surrounding the metro rose so high that it overflowed to the cities and homes, cars were floating and streets looked like rivers themselves.
I was fortunate enough that only a part of my house got flooded due to water that was creeping in thru the floor. My car was not as lucky,half of the car was submerged in flood
My relatives were not as fortunate as floods came in and filled up the entire first floor of their house and had to stay on the second floor. Some houses that were bungalows had people staying on the roofs to wait for rescue. I had to help out my uncle lift all the furniture from the house up to safety. It was terrible.My sisters house was worse.flashflood came thru and she was not able to save anything from her home.
Some of my Outpost mates were also hit hard by the typhoon, losing most if not all of their belongings due to the floods. Despite the weather improving during the last few days the floods still remain in some areas. Mud and heath risks still pose a big problem. as well as cleanup on the streets.
Thanks for all your prayers and help! Godbless!
