Locally known as Typhoon Ondoy, the catastrophe caused by Ketsana was simply devastating. Never did I imagine that a torrent so huge could ravage our area, regardless of the fact that a creek runs just behind our residence. Imagine that water above, it grew four more feet higher during the night and almost reached the second floor. I was standing for almost an hour as I watched the water rises against the ceiling. Outside, the water wildly wiped out important properties some people worked for hardly to achieve. It was such an awakening experience—one that made me realized how badly the environment has been treated. I hope nothing like this gets repeated.

that was pretty devastating.you and your family are safe at least. that is the most important thing. i feel sad for the hundreds that died from the two typhoons. unfortunately it will happen more and more because of global warming.
i would love to read about your experience surviving Odnoy. I am a survivor of Hurricane Katrina and hope no one ever has to experience anything like that.
I am sorry the Philippines had to suffer but i hope a lot of good will result because of it. Lets all work together
PEACE
It was dramatic and all. It really got me thinking. I just hope nothing like this gets repeated. Thank you all.
