This rainy storm Ondoy has brought disaster to our home town. By now the whole first floor of the village is underwater. My family is on the 2nd floor. Cars are floating.
I was out driving towards a funeral. Traffic got too bad. Flooded streets all around. I found myself on the big highway at EDSA and in front of a parking space a few hundred meters before the Trinoma Mall. So I parked the car and walked through the flooded streets to the train station. I took the train and landed in Cubao Farmer’s market. Bought 1/2 kilo of fresh raw beef for my food. Checked into the Eurotel motel. Good thing I had a discount card.
So now I’m fresh and dry. But my family needs rescuing on the 2nd floor of the house. Communication is erratic.
Update: My family has moved to the neighbor’s house because the neighbor has a 3rd floor. The 2nd floor of our house is now flooded as well.
I think this flooding is unprecedented in the history of the village.
My wife reports our entire 1 story house including the whole roof has been engulfed by water. Radio reports say this is the worst and most amount of rain recorded in a day and the day has not even gone past half a day!
All dams releasing water!
my family lives in provident riverside drive. any news?
Unless your family home has a 3rd floor, the whole house is probably underwater.
My family is with the neighbors who luckily have a 3rd floor.
My family is still stuck.
would you know if the water level there is still continuing to rise? My family is still there but I have no way of contacting them.
family is safe. they are with uncle next door who has third level. just hoping everyone finds comfort throughout the night.
Water level is still rising. Latest from the radio is that marines have arrived in Provident. But no word if the marines have rescued them.
