Friday night, about 6pm here in Singapore,. I was talking on the phone with my Mom, informing me about a storm... "How is everything back there?" I asked, "We are fine.." I've asked her where is my youngest daughter and she was out with her grandpa waiting for my in laws to pick her up and stay with them during the weekend... In my mind, this is just another storm that will hit the Philippines and it will most likely hit the provinces, not Manila, and besides, it has boy's name. In the Philippines, storms are usually named after a boy or girls name, and usually, a storm who has a girls name is the strongest. Well, all of that changed as "Ondoy" with an international name of "Ketsana" wrecked havoc through the night... Within hours of heavy rain, most of Manila's municipalities and surrounding cities are now flooded about knee deep to chest deep causing most residents to take refuge in their rooftops. Experts Say's that the rain that night was equivalent to a 3 months rain.
