Typhoon Ondoy came, bringing a month's worth of rain in just 6 hours.
"dumped a total of 455 millimeters of rain in Quezon City alone in 24 hours, compared to the 250 millimeters of rain that Hurricane Katrina brought to New Orleans in Louisiana in the United States in 2005." (source)
caused serious flooding in Metro Manila (submerged 80% of the area) and nearby provinces.
200+ reported dead. hundreds of thousands "displaced" (so far)

It's really very serious.
It never flooded in our place, ever. Even before when it rained for 3 days, non-stop. But now, it did. And the water even got inside our house which is at least a meter above the ground.
Let's all help&pray and pray&help, everyone.
I thank God that my family and friends are safe
but there's still alot of people out there waiting to be rescued.
So let's all pray for them.
and help those people in need by donating basic necessities.
I know I'm not in any way able to go home and help with the rescue operations going on and this is all I can do right now. But I hope this still helps.
Done.
