Keep us informed!
Floods are a tricky thing and things could change. I hope the weather doesn't effect you and your family or any property you may own! Places like were you live can be very dangerous where natural disasters happen easily and not to be taken lightly!

one of the survivors told how the flood started he said that he was looking from their window in the 2nd floor of their house and saw that the water was just above his feet and also said that he hears a loud noise like water rushing so he went down and went out of the house and was surprised to see the water was already chest deep and was still rising up and the water current was so strong that he was washed away and only able to hold on a wall and he was only saved by neighbors when they thru a rope to him. then later on they were all above their roofs .

The President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has declared today that the whole country the Philippines is under state of calamity because of another typhoon to hit the country , typhoon Pepeng as they say here is a super typhoon here where i live we are on signal no. 1 and some provinces are signal 2 and 3. The survivors from the last typhoon Ondoy are so nervous they begin to be scared everytime there's rain you can just only imagine what they are thinkng and feeling and also the hardship they went thru. People residing in low areas are evacuating their houses fearing of another big flooding will be caused by typhoon Pepeng.
