Tropical Storm "Ondoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!

140 die in Philippine storm, toll expected to riseMan, one of the nastiest storms that ever struck us :PI mean, even in Metro Manila (Our country's capital) places that were a little higher in terms of height compared to sea level sank in waist deep to a full adult's height in flood water. Even here where I live, which is a higher mountainous area suffered under flood.EDIT:Corrected the name of the storm on the title.

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!Our whole village was flood because of it! It's the first time it happened to our village so we weren't prepared for it...houses with no second story were left destroyed...

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!im surprised our puny house survived through it!
my classmate's house has their 1st floor flooded!

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!hahaha I really laughed when the flood was really almost an inch close to our door when the rain weakened.. damn.. We get almost all of our things in the first floor of our house.. yep other places had their taste of first time flood... too bad for others..

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!Manillia?
Sounds close to where my mother's family is at-I hope they are ok :(

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!We weren't affected, oh yeah. XD

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!First, its ondoy not undoy, cause where still at the Letter O in tropical storms' name.Secondly, good thing we dont get anymore of those rains + winds... that would be more devastating. Hope that those congressmen who receives hundreds of millions of pesos give back the money they get, also known as "Pork Barrel". Not as "donation" but as a job. That money is from the people and should be used for the people. Like those who where victims of the storm.

While I'm not from around there-or know the details-everyone else here never said anything and they are actually close to where it happened.Just thinking out loud.

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!A very good internet friend of mine lives in The Philippines. I haven't heard from him in days. I hope it's just the floods ruining his internet, and not something worse.

He didn't say that his friend is "gone".

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!I hope all of the RomU members that live in Philippines are OK... :( What a disaster...

Blade5406 · #11He didn't say that his friend is "gone".

In advance...For all we know he may have been away...from the stormGuess I'll take that back and wish "he is all well and good".I just thought condolances meant "to good health" or something-i just pick up random fancy words and use them as I see fit-even if they aren't :(

Re: Tropical Storm "Undoy" Wrecked Havoc in the Philippines!crap. after ondoy, there is a next one heading here again, at least 2 more. the 1st to hit is expected, but the 2nd one is still being observed. oh well, its nature, cant stop it.i wish it would go north towards taiwan, but it would be wrong to put that problem to other countries... hope it will just disappear

Brace yourselves.. this one is much stronger than ONDOY...

The death toll is now over 240.My mum is still trying to reach her relatives.

nikume101 · #15Brace yourselves.. this one is much stronger than ONDOY...

yeah, its named Peping. if it continues its course, it will only hit northern part and straight to taiwan. hope Taiwan will at least now be ready cause its a 3 in 1 storm.

Peping... :DReminds me of my boardmate... PEPING!!!Eh, he's famous already??

oh sorry, its called Pepeng, not peping. i was thinking of someone related to the late president cory.if you look at this: http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/ and click the picture, you will see that there is another storm in the pacific. PAGASA said it will enter the PAR but will not make landfall. damn it...

...One disaster after another, eh...? What's next? Mt. Pinatubo and Mayon erupting while there's a Tsunami? I hope not.
