I just need to post about this again.

Typhoon Ondoy, worst to hit the country since 1967. In six hours, the amount of rainfall we had was equivalent to a month's worth. It's been raining for twelve hours now. It's lessened, yes, and that is a relief, but less rain isn't what we need. It needs to stop completely, give the floods a chance to subside and for the rescuers to have an easier

Dude. I feel so sorry for the people stuck on their roofs and the people whose houses got flooded in. My cousin lives in Marikina and he was like waist deep in his house. All his furniture was floating around. O_O

And no one's heard from another one of my cousins since 6pm. He was in a car in Taft. Shit. Praying for you and for everyone else. *megahug*

i'm lucky that i've got my closest relatives accounted for already, and no one's stuck in the heavily flooded areas. my relatives in pasig are okay thank god, just a bit of water inside their house. i'm more in this state na i want to text all my friends over there because i swear everytime i hear about a certain area going under it's like i can think of someone living there, and i'm just resisting the urge to mass text so as to not clog the airwaves.

ohgod i hope your cousin's okay. one lj friend was stuck in lasalle earlier, last i heard she was at coastal already and i just really hope she's home by now. though i heard laguna was flooded too.

prayers are all we're capable of right now. i'll keep you and your family in mine too *hugs back tight*

Twitter power is amazing, I swear to God. So is the camaraderie born out of tragedy.

I am SO glad you are ok! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and everyone else effected by this.

i've never been more relieved before that i've been extremely lucky when this happened, unlike for so many.
