Metro Manila, Cavite, Pasig, Marikina and Makati were super flooded because of the Typhoon Ondoy that hit us last Saturday, September 26, '09. State of Calamity time. It was hellish. So many people died and houses were destroyed. Our house was not flooded but outside, the water was in waist level (Normal human). In k-7th street, the water was around 15 feet high. Our house became a temporary home for the refugees again.
Everyone from the outside believes that it was really like a super typhoon because of the damages. But logically, I believe that it wasn't. It can't be. That type of rain could never make the whole NCR and some near provinces here full flooded. duhhh.. Sentido comon. Baka people could be really disgusting.
Ok, here's why... the typhoon Ondoy of 2009 was not even half-way stronger than of the typhoon Milenyo of 2006 that hit the Philippines. I can compare it because I have a photographic memory. The storm was still mild as compared to bagyong Milenyo. And to think that it hit NCR with just rains, no winds at all.
On the first six months of the year 2009, we had a very indescribable weather. Rain and shine. It's summer but it's raining. We had typhoons out of season. We had continuous light and heavy rains but it never flooded that much.
So why did it flooded that much? It's because the La Mesa Dam waters were released. In Full open Gates. Pwede naman nilang irelease ung tubig, pero sana naman ung hinay hinay. They know naman na may kasalukuyang bagyo tapos pakakawalan nila ung tubig na 4 gates open. Pwede namang paunti unti kasi hindi naman basta basta magka-crack ung Dam porket puno kasi nagpapakawala naman. duhhh...
anyways, point of view ko lang toh ha....
