What humans do to mother nature surely go back to them.We must never violate the natural laws for they surely give us hardest lessons like flood, tsunami, and pollution.
I cannot imagine the flood in our university. Almost 3,000 plus faculty, staff and students stranded whole night no light, no food, no water to drink, so pitiful ,and were able to left the disaster area at 8 in the morning and flood water was still above the knee. The previous height was so high reaching 2nd floor of the building.
No class here, so I do some hours myltotting.
Image shown here, flood in the campus.

I hope this will not be the case here in our city where a new mall was constructed . We haven't experienced yet a flood though since it was constructed . Maybe because the typhoons that passed didn't have a lot o rain to cause a flood since the last time a long time ago where the city is a bit flooded .

@ridingbet , our school is surrounded with SM Mega mall, Ayala Mall Ket Kai Center, Robinson's, Gaisano city and Gaisano mall and many huge buildings and our campus is the recipient of all the water coming from their establishment with creeks few meters only overflowed, thus spreading in the entire campus,Lord, so horrible.3,000
plus stranded whole afternoon and evening.

@cacay1 oh, now i understand. the DPWH should have done an ocular inspection when these buildings were constructed, so the residents there should not be flooded.

The flood in CDO reminded me of Ondoy that hit Manila years ago. It was also due to non-stop rain.

@rina110383 , The strong rain lasted almost 2 hours and the not so hard non-stop and the flood was so sudden. Many were caught unaware, so they were stranded.

@ilocosboy That is us Filipinos, still paint a smile on our lips just to show a make believe that we are not affected, but deep inside, extreme pain. Maybe you saw the floods there in your TV. It was almost a citywide flood.
