The "bre" month, September which heralds the start of the Christmas season was unusual - it was a floody welcome for the month The whole of Rizal (almost) was flooded: Baras, Pililla, Tanay, Mabitac, Cainta, Rodriguez, San Mateo, Cainta.
In less than 12 hours, the rain came and torrents and places which did not get flooded were inundated.
Those places are the places we use to bike. How could our landscape turn into scene of destruction and deluge for such a short while?
NDRRMC was constantly texting through NTC the yellow and orange rainfall warning. This accompanied the arrival of Typhoon Enteng which was by 7 last night was all ready in Bicol. Many would have disregarded them. But they were accurate. Thank you PAG -ASA, NDRRMC.
Let us pray for the safety of those who are affected by the flood.
(The PAOCC chief navigated his way through the flood on a cabinet. (That is why people of his level are called cabinet officials?)
What could have been the cause? Natural - act of God. The climate change has caused all the rains to dump unusual amount of rain. Denudation of forest, quarrying operations.
Let us not cheer if there are floods in China. We are in the same boat.
