So, my dad went to the Philippines on Wednesday to attend my grandmother’s funeral that was supposed to be on Friday. But it rained so badly a bunch of bad things happened and she couldn’t get buried. According to the news, a months worth of rain fell on Manila within the span of 12 hours. That’s insane. It was so flooded my dad’s family was stuck under an overpass for 6 hours as it flooded around them. My aunt’s car got carried by the flood and hit a tree and was wrecked. They had to seek shelter at a relative’s home that was at a higher elevation. The cemetery wouldn’t bury anyone because the soil was too wet. Everything my dad has been relaying sounds like absolute chaos.
“Rescuers are stepping up efforts in the Philippines, a day after Tropical Storm Ketsana triggered deadly floods in the capital, Manila, and several other provinces with the heaviest rainfall in more than 40 years.
Disaster officials said the death toll stood at 73 on Sunday, while up to 330,000 residents have been displaced.”
