Pardon the awful formatting, I’m blogging through Flickr. My dad have just turned off our circuit breaker, I’m just using PLDT WeRoam on my netbook. It’s very slow, especially at this awful weather, but it’s allowing me to connect and upload some photos at least.
I don’t normally blog immediately about calamities like this, but this flood is the worst I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime. I’ve lived along Katipunan Avenue in Blue Ridge since the day I was born, so I never really experienced flooding (Blue Ridge is pretty high up, it’s on top of a hill). First time ever for my family — flood reached inside our home.
You can see more photos I took on my Flickr Photostream. Watermarks are pretty crudely done, sorry for that. It’s not easy to work with diminishing power on a small netbook. I’ll probably edit this post and fix the formatting when everything settles.
Stay safe guys!

hi gail, glad you and your family is safe. we thought about you guys and prayed for your safety as well. we were flooded too, 1st floor of the house is a disaster. until now we are cleaning and cleaning…its been pretty crazy the past 2 weeks, but we are slowly getting back to our normal lives. i hope you guys are doing well, do let me know if you need help.
A colleague of mine shared this photo of her house and one of her neighbor’s. The family next door to them forgot to free the dog from its cage. I’m sure dogs could swim, but… arrrg, the dog drowned in its cage. The photo was so graphic, tragic. 🙁
Seeing all these pictures and seeing how Ondoy caught everyone by surprise, the country needs to put more effort in forecasting and disaster risk management.
sobra nga sya but im glad you guys are safe
