Worst flood ever in 21 years

The typhoon is still in progress while I'm posting these photos:

My driveway:

Back of my house:

Inside my house:

Warzone:

My family and I are in my mother's place as my house is in total disarray due to this flooding.

I don't know what to say Teofilo. I'm really sorry for your house. At least you and your family are safe.

Ummm... have fun?

Sorry, I choke up on all these sad/misfortunate threads. =\

Maybe I'll stick to not posting in 'em...

Damn that's rough

I hope the flooding start's to recede soon, and you and your family can get back to normal again

I just called up Gene. They already left their house and they are now on save ground at his mom’s house. Here in our area we are also experiencing strong winds and heavy rains but not as severe as in Manila.

Bro gene, just heard the news from eddie, glad to know you and your family is at a safe location. Hang in there buddie matatapos at dadaan din yan..... God Bless and God Speed.

Donald, I just heard the news that your province is also under the state of calamity. Take all necessary precations, Bro.

Whoey · **Reply #10 on:** September 26, 2009, 11:28:06 AM

Nasty, we've been getting a lot of that here in Spain too, luckily nowhere near us.

Hope it doesnt cause too much damage/grief

Sorry man I know its a bummer to you, but Mt.org to me is family and some of us care whats happening or what the other members are going through and show our support even in just words of encouragement.

Hope things pick up mate. The one thing I like about this forum is the global friendly feel of things around here. Kind of sets it apart from other forums.
Keep us informed (if you can) ....and good luck.

I once got caught in a cat 4 hurricaine in Florida - but I could fly home when it died down, and didn't have to queue up for water and deal with the aftermath like the locals.

+1 to the above

WhichDawg · **Reply #13 on:** September 26, 2009, 12:27:11 PM

omg Teofilo, my prayers and smoke to you and your family.
I hope it stops and you recover quickly and painlessly bro.

I am also glad you and your family are safe buddy.

Chako · **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2009, 01:09:34 PM

Man oh man. At least the family is safe. Material property can always be replaced but family can never.

I hope the damage isn't too extensive, although those photos tell me otherwise.

Do you have insurance? I sincerely hope you do.

Take care, and best wishes Teofilo.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #15 on:** September 26, 2009, 02:51:24 PM

Holy crap- that's a mess!

Chako's right though, at least the family is safe. Replacing things can be difficult, especially things of value, but they are still just things. Family is important, and I'm glad you managed to find a safe place to keep them!

I have to agree.

Frog/Princess or whatever you want to be called, use your loaf before you make such ridiculous posts. These are peoples lives we are talking about here and your post was disrespectful. You should have followed your own advice I feel.

Wow, okay. Yes, that's right, I'm actually a robot hell-bent on the destruction of humanity. I have no feelings, nor do I care for anyone on these forums. Thanks, that's EXACTLY what I was trying to tell you. Thanks for clarifying that for people, in case they missed all the hidden context.

Sorry, seems sarcasm and strange humor are my defense mechanisms.

That asides, people still take me seriously here? I agree, I'm not good with it, maybe I shouldn't do it. I figured after ignoring them so long I'd make an attempt and an explanation, and it seems my usual sense of horrible humor got in the way (and the whole post-than-think mentality). But I do not think it was oh so inflamatory that anyone should make a big deal of it... just ignore me like usual.

That being said, I'm sorry to hear of your plight Teo and I wish you the best and hope the situation gets better.
By no means do I wish you harm, or for killer robots with shoulder mounted lasers to descend on your kin.

EDIT: And sorry for being rude, if it seemed so.

Benner · **Reply #20 on:** September 26, 2009, 07:29:33 PM

You didn't see it as being inflamatory, but others did and that is the point I am trying to make out.

Gareth · **Reply #21 on:** September 26, 2009, 07:37:02 PM

Glad to hear everyone is safe at least. Having been flooded out myself once I can sympathise mate. It can take some time but things will get back to normal.

Flood in Manila causes nightmare.

I know it's a terrible thing to have happen, but you have to admire the kids for just having fun with it all!

ducktapehero · **Reply #24 on:** September 26, 2009, 09:45:30 PM

WOW!!! I am sorry about your house but as everyone has stated at least you're safe. I'll definitely keep you and your family in my prayers.

J-sews · **Reply #25 on:** September 26, 2009, 10:20:57 PM

My heart goes out to you and your family Gene.

So sorry about your house and everything. And do take extra care when you get back, as oftentimes outbreaks of sickness can follow flooding.

duckman1975 · **Reply #26 on:** September 26, 2009, 11:05:09 PM

Gene, how are you doing? Hope your doing okay. My family's prayers are with you and all the flood victims. Stay safe and God Speed.
Eddie, we were not hit by the storm everything looks okay here.

edap617 · **Reply #27 on:** September 26, 2009, 11:18:41 PM

Donald, glad to know the typhoon spared your province.

It is still raining hard here in our place but we are not experiencing flooding like in Manila.

LatinoHeat · **Reply #28 on:** September 27, 2009, 01:44:05 AM

Guys, coming from Florida, flooding is nothing new to me, but damn, that's A LOT of friggin water!! Teo, as has already been said, I know your possessions are important, but screw it. At least you and yours are safe. That's all that matters. Def said it best when he said things can be replaced, people can't. Man oh man, I don't know what to say. Be careful guys. Keep your families safe, and please keep us posted. Let us know if there's anything we can do.

sappyg · **Reply #29 on:** September 27, 2009, 02:14:15 AM

holy cow that's just terrible! it's times like these that help us all realize and appreciate the things that really matter. my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
