If ever they were one day delayed perhaps they may be stranded in Manila or worst swept by the flashed flood and got drown.
Like some years ago, there was one bus loaded of student that passing by the bridge when suddenly their bus was swept to the river and lots of students got drown.
In more that 40 years passed, this Typhoon Ondoy or Ketsana international called poured the strongest rain that cause flash floods in short time.
Lots of places in Metro Manila and other provinces were floded' til the 2nd floor level of their houses. Lots of victims and casualties. Until now ther some places that still under water and no electricity.
May be tomorrow or the next day, the news report said that there's another stronger typhoon approaching.
So I better buy more candles and batteries and of course more stock foods.
