Where were you during Bagyong Ondoy?

I was at home that time...(thank God!) I just got home from work when suddenly the rain doesn't stop from pouring and after like an hour I saw waters coming in from our gate near the main door. Its crazy... I got so scared and we went upstairs and ... viola!!!.. we got a brand new swimming pool downstairs in just a few minutes... and it was far behind summertime. Well, thank goodness everyone at home are safe (which I think the most important) though, we are still fixing some damages it brought us. I'm still positive about life! Things does happen, and it happen for a purpose. Happy Lotting!

you will laugh, i was swimming along kalentong just to reach home, worried of my car i went back swimming to see if my car is okay and spent the night in the car. LOL

I was back home in Laguna cause that was my Mom's birthday... Good thing that we were home, because our house got flooded, and my parent's had us there to clean up the mess, and to put the furnitures on higher ground. It was sad though cause we didn't celebrate my Mom's birthday properly, because we were too busy stressing out when the rain will end because the water just kept rising inside the house.

I was actually stranded at SLEX during that time because I was traveling from Batangas to my Aunt's Condo in Manila. I had a flight to Palawan the next morning which is why even though it was raining really hard, I still went to Manila. I left Batangas at around 10am. The normal travel time from Batangas to Manila is 3 hours but I arrived at my Aunt's at around 8pm (9 hours travel!). The buses at SLEX at that time were no longer moving at Nichols and I was so hungry and really needed to pee so I decided to walk from Nichols to EDSA Magallanes and just get a cab there or something. That was my initial plan but I stopped over at Shell Magallanes to pee and to get something to eat and as I was crossing from the North Bound Lane of SLEX to Shell Magallanes, I fell into a Muddy Plant Hole. I was stuck there for about 3 minutes but fortunately, adrenaline sunk in and I pulled myself out of there. I was crying when I got to Shell Magallanes. I called my boyfriend and my parents because I was panicking and I really want to get home so I asked them for help. They suggested that I clean myself up first and eat at the open Donut Store and go to the MRT station at Magallanes and ride the train home. I took their advice and thankfully, I got home safely. My ordeal is not as devastating as the others but that was the most stressful experience I had because of a typhoon.

The question perfectly fits me because I was affected by typhoon Ondoy...='( sniff... sniff... But I'm feeling better now after the trauma and repair expenses. I'm just charging it to experience.:) I was at work at that time. I brought my dad's car to work because my car was undergoing repair. And that was my first time to bring his car to work! I regret bringing it since I was not able to save it from submerging in flood water. And it COMPLETELY submerged up to roof high (as if there's no car parked in there anymore).=( Ondoy brought me a lot of "first time experiences". It was my first time to be stranded, ride an improvised boat made of roof (looks like the boat being used to harvest "kangkong" in the nearby river:)),first time to cross flood water which was waist-level high & a lot more first time experiences. If I have to say the complete details of my Ondoy experience, this page will not be enough. Haha... So here, just check out my Ondoy story at this link. :) http://wengerts-typhoon-ondoy-experience.blogspot.com

Very interesting question, well It was a weekend and I was in angeles city that time, I always spend my weekend with my girlfriend at angeles city who is working at Clark. It was already raining almost non stop saturday morning and it went the whole afternoon, I was kindly bothered because I thought about my motorcycle and scooters I left at home, it might be already under flood since I know that kind of rain usually brings big floods in my place (I live in malabon) although I raised them on one layer off hollow blocks before I left, I'm still worried that these non-stop rain would bring higher floods than I expected, I could not make a call at home the whole day and night, It's hard to connect, also there was no electricity the whole day. So I just keeps my finger crossed and hope situation in malabon is not that bad, comes the next day sunday, there were already electricity and we were able to watch the news and we were surprised with all the news and footages we've seen on tv specially the videos shown along ortigas extension, the whole of marikina and pasig, all under floods, you can only see the roofs with people on top and there were some vehicles on top of one another, I was really shocked of how Manila was devastated that saturday by typhoon ondoy, and later I was able to call home and I was relieve that they were all ok but not my motorcycles, they were not able save them and they were all under flood as I speak to them, well I said it's ok as long as all of you there are ok, Typhoon Ondoy really shown us how powerful nature is and left us lots messages, and it's up to us now to distinguish what those messages are, and immediately do something about it.

My family and I were lucky that we were not affected by any of the typhoons. During the typhoon Ondoy, I was just home, watching news on TV.

I was in Provident Village when Ondoy came. This is our fourth flood in Provident but this is the worst that we went through. The water rose so fast that we literally fled to our roof! The good thing was that my family kept its cool and we were able to unplug the appliances, save what can be saved, bring water and food with us to the roof, wear adequate protection for the rain and even brought our dog with us there (he even had his water and food with him too). We each had a bag with extra clothes in the event that we were to be saved (which did not happen because the current was so strong that no rescue boat could enter our place) which was put to good use because some neighbors took shelter with us and we were able to give them the extra clothes (they were soaking wet!). We spent seventeen hours on the roof with the rain pouring hard for four hours. We then spent the remainder of the night waiting for the flood water to subside. The following day the Marines came and we rode out of our village.

I was at home when Ondoy unleashed it's fury in Metro Manila, preventing the whole house to be flooded entirely.

i was at home, i live in nueva ecija and we are not that much affected by the typhoon hit. there was a lot of floodings in our town but to mention there was no heavy downpour of rain, so the flood must have come from those areas that were really hit by the heavy precipitation. we are very lucky to be spared cause you know it is Palay/rice harvest season here, if we got hit, there would be no way that we can recover.

Fortunately I don't have a class that day, so I'm just staying at our house, surfing the net. I'm too lazy to cook so I decided to just buy outside after the rain but the rain doesn't have a plan to stop so I cooked an instant noodle for lunch. Right after cooking, the electricity was cut off ( I feel so lucky because we only have an electric stove, so I can't cook without electricity). I thought it will just last for a minute but I'm wrong. It is already 8pm still no electricity, I'm so hungry, I only ate noodles for the whole day. I can't go out for there is a flood, so I don't have a choice but to eat a candies for the dinner. So I sleep without eating and it's so hot, I don't even have a fan. The next day, I feel that I'm still lucky compare to the other people who lost their house, properties and business and stayed at their roof for the whole night.
