Flooding In Manila

[OnMyWay]

Manila is really getting hit hard!  Let's hope the rain stops soon!  

 

We have had downpours for two days here in Subic but our area is not prone to flooding.  I heard that the Sta Monica sub-division over is Barrio Baretto is flooded, again.

 

Thankfully we went to through Manila to Laguna on Saturday, and when we left at about 3 pm the really intense rains were just starting.  We originally planned our trip for Sunday so we were lucky to have moved it up a day.  Laguna is getting hit hard too.

 

I hope all members are staying safe and dry!

We also have had none stop rain since Friday, and still raining! Here in Angeles. Many roads blocked due to flooding, and several areas of Angeles are flooded, (thankfully not us).

 

Clark is OK, but the roads at times were also very bad, it appears that the water was not draining as fast as others times we have had heavy rains.

 

I too hope all members and family in Manila area are safe.

Here are some pics from the recent flooding.  It looks insane!   We have tons of rain here in Iloilo - but nothing like this.

MANILA, Philippines -- The heavy downpour over Quezon City Tuesday evening literally brought the northbound lane of EDSA to a standstill during rush hour as floodwaters submerged the stretch of the avenue in front of Camp Aguinaldo, between Santolan and the White Plains/People Power Monument area.
