Philippines Floods. Monsoon. Lightning. Thunder.

Okay so this is getting pretty bad.  Classes got suspended today and for tomorrow due to some majorly intense rain (redundant I know). But it’s absolutely ridiculous.  I never thought in my life that I would be witness or actually be a part of something like this.  Not that this is something to be proud of.  Here in Manila, we are already on Red Alert meaning the response is evacuation.  There have been landslides and areas of calamity.  Right now the thunder and lightning are actually scaring me. :(  If only you could hear the rain outside my house right now.  And it’s not even that bad where I’m at.  Some of my friends live in areas where the water is already chest deep.  WHO KNOWS! Maybe it’s already above that level.  Pray for the Philippines.  This is really scary.  The amount of rainfall has already surpassed that of Ondoy.  The only difference is that the rain actually stops every now and then but all of a sudden it’ll start back up. No warning. People have already died.  Houses have been raided with water.  Cars have sunk.  There’s even a picture of someone using a jetski in the streets! COME ON REALLY?! As in that was the mode of transportation.  This is ridiculous.  It’s midterms week too but that’ll be moved.  Pray for us.  

Also, people should really stop saying it’s more fun in the Philippines.  What’s so fun about water levels at dangerous levels, people dying, classes being cancelled, etc. etc.

OHMYGULAY THAT THUNDER SOUNDED LIKE A FREAKING BOMB. I LITERALLY JUMPED.
