It’s been raining here at abnormal level for 2 days. Work was suspended yesterday and it’s a good thing I decided not to report today too because work was again suspended at our office later this afternoon. I am both sad and worried for those who still came to work today and now cannot go home because most of the roads are flooded (waist deep again) by now.
So DOST-PAGASA raised its alert to red for the second time this week:
RED WARNING SIGNAL:
Issued at: 04:30 PM, 08 August 2012 (Wednesday)
Target Areas: Metro Manila Torrential Rainfall (30.0-50.0 mm/hr) over QC, Manila & Marikina, Heavy to Intense rainfall (15.0-30.0 mm/hr) over Pasig, CAMANAVA, Taguig & Pasay while Moderate to Heavy rainfall (7.5-15.0 mm/hr) over the rest of Metro Manila.
Due to the effect of the series of thunderstorms embedded in the Southwest Monsoon, expect Heavy to Intense (15.0-30.0mm/hr) rains with occasional Torrential (more than 30.0mm/hr) rains within 2hrs.
Residents in flood/landslides risk areas are advised to take precautionary measures and WATCH OUT for the next warning.
Be safe everyone.
