Although the great flooding of August 7 has subsided, it still left some pretty devastating effects.  About a month’s worth of rain poured over the National Capital Region for 2 days.  Severe flooding left many places closed including the Embassy for several days.  In Pasay City, where I am living, the water was at least 2 to 3 feet high.  The damage was not severe and I was fortunate.

During the time off, I listened to water bear down all day and night.   I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve been through 2 hurricanes.  Interestingly enough the floods occurred on August 7, 2012.  If you were to peruse through a copy of the Bible, Genesis Ch. 8 vs. 7-12 are the ones detailing the disastrous deluge on man.  The Philippine media pointed this out constantly.
