Thank you kindly, Max. You are ever so thoughtful :)
:eek: Oh no! I wish everything will be better soon.
I guess every Filipino today has been anxious as the whole city has been declared in a state of calamity because of the tropical storm. Massive floods and non-stop rains for more than 12 hours now.
Oh goodness Toni. Be safe and let us know when it is over. I'll be looking out for the weather there. Which city should I be looking for?
Oh geez. I foound this:

40 dead after flooding in northern Philippines
By OLIVER TEVES, Associated Press Writer Oliver Teves, Associated Press Writer – 10 mins ago
MANILA, Philippines – More than a month's worth of rain fell in just 12 hours Saturday as Tropical Storm Ketsana slammed ashore in the Philippines, killing at least 40 people and stranding thousands on rooftops in the capital's worst flooding in more than 42 years.
The government declared a "state of calamity" in metropolitan Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces, said Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, who heads the National Disaster Coordinating Council. That allows officials to withdraw emergency money for relief and rescue.
A landslide and flash flooding in nearby Rizal province killed 35 people, said provincial government spokesman Tony Mateo. Most of the fatalities in Rizal drowned, said Loel Malonzo, chairman of the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council.
Three people were also reported killed in Manila's southern suburb of Muntinglupa and two others in Quezon city, said Anthony Golez, deputy presidential spokesman and acting head of the Office of Civil Defense.
Thank you all for your concern. :angel: The flood outside our street is thigh-deep, but I've heard worse cases on the news, where it would reach up to 6-feet! Luckily, the flood outside has not managed to creep inside our house yet; all of us are safe and dry. :redface: The weather forecast states the tropical storm will probably be away after a few days.
Quezon City, Uncle Virg.:cold:Thank you.. The flood is subsiding slowly so we are already able to go outside and buy necessities.
Yeah, thigh-deep. I spent all afternoon looking outside the window in shock. :eek2: Oh don't worry, although the bathroom ceiling already collapsed, I don't think the water will be high enough to creep inside our house. We live in a 2-storey apartment.
:)
Take care, Toni.
As for me, quite peachy and amused.
Awful.
I've been tracking the news on the flood, and it has been getting worse and worse.
