philippines: will be experiencing rains till part of febraury 2011

It rained hard in makati yesterday. The good thing is it only lasted for a few minutes. Had it continued like that for a few hours, I'm sure it's going to be Ondoy all over again. I hope that our drainage are cleaned up already to accommodate the flood waters. I also hope that the rains will fall where it is needed, like in rice paddies and the water sheds.

I guess everyone is always prepare in the name of typhoon, rain etc....looks like everyone would say: it's a miracle there's no rain or typhoon.!! they said: it's part of life.!

I do hope they speed up the road work in the highways. The drainage is terribly necessary. In the mean time, we need to take the precautions seriously. Have you got a life saver already? A floater maybe...

That's probably why Isabela has been severely inundated in the last few days. The global warming is really affecting everyone, this country included. I guess we will have a wet Christmas this year. That reminds me, I should start stocking up on emergency supplies lest I become a victim of Ondoy again.

Hello! Honestly, I really don't have any idea that it would be that way. Im so busy during weekdays and more so when its week end so I don't have much comfort of time to watch news. Really? yesterday its too rainy here in Bulacan and now, its too dark outside though its already * in the morning. Ive been complaining of so cold weather this past few days because i am an individual who easily feel hot during sunny days, but i also feel cold easily as well. Well, its a good thing that they announced it early so we could prepare ourselves well enough especially to those flood prone area out there. I deeply felt the strength of Ondoy and I never wanted to experience that heavy flooding again. Have a nice week end!

i hope the government will fix the clogged drainage so that it will not be easily flooded. People should also learn to clean and have a dicipline in throwing their trash in public areas.

I hope that there would be no super typhoons to directly hit our country. Some provinces are still struggling due to the aftermath of the previous typhoons. Hopefully everyone will be ready just in case. Rains in February is really possible.

Hi elle, Based on the typhoon Juan experience I think the necessary gov't resources were mobilized ahead of the typhoon's arrival resulting in minimal loss of lives and damage to property as compared to previous typhoons of this magnitude. I do hope the gov't will be able to maintain this level of readiness for the rains and floods that is yet to come.

I hope so, but from my point of view we still need more preparation. I hope the ondoy disaster will not happen again. We are fortunate in our area here because it does not flood that much but only God knows what will happen. Good luck to all of us.

Well, for me, I hope it is not the case because I can't earn much if it is always raining. How can customers come to my place? They might get sick!
