Live it up...

For the past two mornings, we all woke up to the sound of rain. It turned out to be the most disastrous rain Central Luzon would ever see.

We were all warned of storm signal number 1 last night. But no one was prepared for a disaster of this magnitude. The problem is, the signal warnings only reflect the strength of wind, not the size of the storm clouds (amount of rain). Typhoon Ondoy didn't have strong winds... but look at the size of the storm from these satellite reports:


Yahoo Weather issued no storm warning. Infact they just predicted Light Rain



Kim Atienza's PAGASA report in Facebook as of 8am yesterday: Ondoy speeds up and makes landfall! Eye of ondoy now over aurora, will cross central Luzon and will exit dagupan. Tropical storm ondoy strengthens at 85 kilometres per hour msw and gustiness of 100 kph! Metro signal number 1, will strenthen further later. This is a wet wet one! Red in the satellite image means very very strong rain, yellow is moderate rain - Kim Atienza

We are not affected in our area but ALOT are. I've seen the news yesterday that most of the people in Cainta, Pasig and Marikina are now in their roof tops. No food, no water. Rain isnt's stopping either. Water flood is 5-10 feet in their area. Other areas are much deeper. Alot were drowned. Some are dying with hypothermia.

Let's pray for all those people. Let's pray for the Philippines.
