Flood

This just in: The flood is rising as I type this. The rain has been going on since last night and without letting up. The river across my condo is begining to overflow. The name of the culprit: Typhoon Ondoy. News reached me that the first floor of my in-law's house is already under water.  Their house was renovated and the garage elevated to eliminate the risk of rising flood waters. They were never prepared for this height. Ninang Jude and family are trapped inside their flooded house.  The news reports more areas submerged by the relentless rain.  This is not good. I hope the rains stop really soon and the waters go down... Lord help us...
