Tropical Storm “ONDOY”

After almost 42 years, Tropical Storm "ONDOY" break the record of heavy rains,the total rainfall recorded after the first six hours of raining was 341 millimeters. It is equivalent to one month of raining.

Metro Manila and the surrounding area were covered with water after ONDOY visit the Philippines. 51 people were killed, many families got affected, many houses and properties destroyed in just one day of heavy rains. This is the first time I saw this kind of calamity in Metro Manila, I am familiar with the provinces inside the Philippines, they are much affected every time there's a typhoon. But this time the central Metro Manila is very much affected. Many people was stranded on their rooftops, because their houses are surrounded with water. The news we're so shocking. Many Filipinos are suffering this time,some lost their love one's, some lost their  properties, and some lost both. But despite of this calamity, many of our countrymen do the BAYANIHAN, it is the unity of the people in order to save the lives of other and helping each other to survive. Many of us give their donations and do everything to help.

Ondoy is the 4th storm for the month of  September, and this storm will mark the lives of many Filipinos especially the people who are much affected of the typhoon.

Why are we suffering this kind of calamity?the heavy rains, regular storms, flash floods and more,that many of our fellow countrymen died.

Maybe it is because of the climate change happening in the world. Our environment is  suffering because of the improper discipline of the people. Maybe in this kind of calamity,we should learn to love and care our mother nature, God is giving us the signs, we MUST consider it.
