Not really inclined to read nor blog but I have to do something before I go to sleep. So tired fixing things when we went back home this morning. We had to transfer the car to a higher place and elevate those things that we feared would be caught by the flood.
I told you in my blog yesterday that I hate it when it rains non-stop. True enough, flood waters reached our garage. We left the house at about 7 pm and spent the night with our neighbors’ house together with Mom, Josef and Jovy and Oreo of course. Since typhoon Ondoy left Metro Manila flooded for days back in 2009, I have become afraid of floods. It used to be when this place was just rice field all around when we had the house built in 1995 but today, it is filled with buildings and houses some of which even have third floors.
Metro Manila and surrounding provinces got flooded again, some even reaching their rooftops. Some families are still in evacuation centers especially Marikina residents which got the most flooded areas in the metropolis.
Saw this evacuation center in Marikina on Facebook. a wonderful change from the usual crowded places of basketball courts and classrooms with not so much amenities for the evacuees.
I asked Josef not to report to work tomorrow if this rain continues which PAGASA says until Tuesday. It is really alarming when the rain comes. Report says that yesterday poured a half-month amount of rain in the metropolis. So many people were stranded. Some malls were open so the shoppers could use their parking spaces and the malls to pass the night.
That fearsome feeling, watching the night while the flood subsides. I am grateful though that it did not enter our house.
