FLOOD IN THE CITY...comment please!!!

I hope the flood doesn't reach your house footsteps Jaiho. The weather is gloomy in our place with occasional drizzle. I saw on TV that its flooded anywhere. There was one video where a man on a wheelchair tries to cross a flooded street. I hope everyone will be spared from such worst catastrophe. Hopefully, the flood will subside so that everybody will have a peace of mind.. God bless us all..

hello again Jaiho, THAt is so sad to hear. if only the government should have created a budget that would create under-ground tunnels and sewer system that would take on these excessive waters. there are two troubles now why we have floods. number one, the government simply doesn't have the budget, then second the sewage tunnels are being flooded with trash thrown by some irresponsible citizens.

Hello there. Hope you are doing fine...how's the flood coming through for you. In Singapore, it's getting hotter nowadays. I keep getting showers throughout the day..

I know the feeling of floods in the city. I grew up with floods in the city. It need not be a very strong downpour before the place gets flooded. Poor drainage is the main culprit and the people are inconvenienced by this - traffic is worse than ever, vehicles are stuck in the water, even diseases are starting because of the stagnant or dirty water. And me, I could not get to work and I have to wade a lot in water and ruin my few pairs of shoes.

I am sorry to hear Jaiho that your home is being flooded. I really hope the rain stops soon, or that the water begins to drain. I live in the lowland areas of texas were flash floods are frequent but thank goodness so far I have never ecperienced a flood. I wish you very good luck. Be safe my friend.

Hello! Here, we don't have but i can hear and see in the television that most places in the philippines are suffering from this high volume of water. Others we're already in their roofs just to be on top so that they somehow have safety. How true is this? How about in Sampaloc? Do you know their situation in their?Be Safe!May God help you an the rest of Pilipinoes.

I live by the river and last year we had abig rain storm and the river was in our back yard. We had to leave and go sty else where till the river subsided. but it only took a night for it to go down. It was a bit scary but we were safe.

Hi jaiho, Here our place it seems the monsoon is over. It creates some problems like flood like situation and the city is back with its normal life and again hot here. I hope you people are safe and take good care in this weather especially on health. Have a great weekend. Hope the flood in the city won't disturb you much.

In my place, I've also experienced bad thing with floods. When it was happening, we couldn't go to school, not even supermarket. It was totally annoying. But however, flood doesn't happen instantly, it is human who 'unconciously' destroys the nature and the nature gives flood as the result. But now flood doesn't happen all the times.

hello jaiho... well i saw it on the news...im really sad on what happens there... so how are you now? is the flood gets higher in your place? i hope not... well here in Cebu, we are fine here, just little rain and we don't really feel the effects of the storm... when i am still living in Laguna, i also experienced being in flood...i think its the time of typhoon 'rosing'...and its really difficult coz the water come inside our house, and we need to put some bridges inside the house so that we don't get wet...huh! its really difficult and more difficult after...coz there's a lot of things to fix & clean in the house... i hope you are fine and safe now...

i heard on the news that the amount of rain for only 6 hours today is equivalent to one month of the usual rainfall in our country. and the last time it rained this hard was 40 years ago. the flood has reached our garage which is elevated. my sister's house is flooded on the ground floor, more than 6 feet deep. it's like being in the time of noah.

This is the season for flooding, so we have to get accustomed to it. We cannot blame this as this gives life to lives of Earth. Here also it has started raining but not as much as you have mentioned. We rarely have flood in our part of region, yet we have heavy rainfall during the monsoon. Ironically, our farmers have long been waiting for this only to begin the agricultural works

Hello, Jaiho, I hope everything goes on alright to you. The weather here is sunny, quite hot. It's almost in october but we are in hot summer still. My parents-in-law are used to be living in north city, they can hardly fall into sleep without airconditioning. There was Flood when I was very young, I can only recall that we moved to a taller building, and we prepared lots of snacks, fast food. At this time, safety and food are most important. Good luck, my friend.

No flood an my place ,because I am in the north of China.We ,here ,sandstorm sometime.I hope good for you.

Hello jaiho. I am a bit alarmed with the sudden rise of floodwater in the city. I was out in one of the strong storms that hit Manila which was Milenyo a few years ago, but I was able to walk EDSA going home. Now I am watching a news flash and it seems even the government is paralyzed because of this storm. I only pray that people in our country will be safe.

hi jaiho. this is one thing good i like where i presently lives, as even heavy rains can't get this place flooded. i know there are some places that gets flood when it rains, but most floods never gets more that one foot high. i have lots of flood experience when i was still living in bulacan and working in manila. in our home place in bulacan, when there's storm, there is rain and even without heavy rains, we have flood. good thing with our ancestral house is the second floor. so when the water is getting high, all things, the appliances need to be brought up. the flood will leave the house into a great mess when water is gone. and everybody needs to work hand in hand to clean the house after the storm. what my family did then is to raise the flooring by at least one foot so that the ground floor becames a foot higher than the ground outside. with that, water will automatically goes out and cleaning the floor will became easy. i just watched the flash report in the tv and i saw what the storm had done in the metro streets, they look like rivers. i pity those people living near the rivers and low places, they seem to be used to the flood and they just can't do anything but to wait for the waters go down.

It's been raining here too for a few days now non-stop and a bit cold. Thanks God there's no flooding in the city. I hope the city citizens have learned it's lesson from the last flooding it had this year. The floods in the city are really caused by clogging of the drainage because of the garbage stuck in it. Because no matter what heavy downpour a place have when drainages and other canals and pathways for the rain are well kept and very okay then rainwater will not go out into the streets and into houses and buildings.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully, not too much damage is done. I live in Arizona, and we don't ever get flooded like that. We barely even get a couple inches of rain a year. We get those flash floods, but that's only in the washes, I think. But, that means were not ready for it, either. About 20 years ago, there was a huge storm, and it rained for a week straight. All of the washes were overfilled and water was flooding out the sides. A lot of the roads were flooded out. I don't think anybody here knew what to do. Luckily, we haven't a storm anywhere near that bad since. Well, I hope the rain lets up, wherever you're at.

yes, i see it on tv as we are in the same country. us here in the central visayas, we even felt the storm since yesterday. we had strong winds and rains yesterday but not flooding where we are. this am, we had rains but not too strong. take care all of u who are in the path of the storm. all will be well soon, i pray.

I hate floods. I think everybody hate floods. In our place, it seldom floods but when it does, it's a real mess out there. People can't go out for work or buy something. People just stay at home. Sometimes, when its flooding, electricity is off as well so it makes it more boring at home, no television, radio or internet. hope it doesn't flood anymore.
