Tropical Storm “Ondoy” Puts the Philippines Under Water
Posted in Advisory, General on 09/26/2009 03:21 pm by Barangay TanodMajor parts of the Philippines went under water today as tropical storm “Ondoy” unleashed its wrath, leaving thousands stranded and residents climbing to their rooftops for drier ground.
While the provincial regions like Pampanga are known to suffer these flash floods every time there is a storm, Metro Manila was totally unsuspecting of the floods that hit major parts of the country. Hard hit countries included Marikina, Quezon City, San Juan and Paranaque which are still seeking help from rescue teams. The power for these affected parts of the metropolis was also cut by MERALCO to avoid further casualties from execution.
Here are some video footages taken by local residents tied up with the destruction that Typhoon “Ondoy” caused.
