TS Ondoy Strikes the Philippines

Everyone was struck and left in awe by the extent of damage that TS Ondoy had left during a 24-hour non-stop rains that caused rivers and dams to overflow, streets to be clogged, many places to turn to sea, properties to be damaged and lives to be taken away. The country that is very much used to having strong typhoons cannot believe that within a day a big part of Luzon would be covered by flood. Report has it that within less than a day the country has received rainfall that it was supposed to receive within a whole month. And the storm chooses no one as even known personalities desperately called for help on national television to be rescued from high floods that could sweep them away within minutes. I remember seeing sexy actress Cristine Reyes from the roof of her house scared and crying and calling her friends to rescue her from the floods. And it's very heartbreaking too witness the aftermath of this disaster as bodies of victims are found in the streets after the floods have abated. To all who have the logistics and resources to help, please help our fellows in this ordeal. Let us also offer our prayers to those who have lost their loved ones and for the healing and recovery of the nation.
