The Philippines just experienced one of the worst typhoons in years. Lots of houses have been submerged under raging flood waters - even two-storey houses. There's even a video of someone who was already using his jet ski in his neighborhood because the streets were no more.
To anyone who wants to see how bad it's been, just type in "Typhoon Ondoy" in youtube. See for yourself how unbelievable the situation is for a lot of people here now.
I feel blessed that my family can sleep comfy and dry in our home tonight, especially since we are living in a coastal area (we live near Manila Bay).
