Bagyong Santi (first time to experience flood in Sta Rosa City) hehehe

Hi,

 

This is it, after the past two typhoons (Ondoy and Pepeng) that hit our area; finally this last one “Santi” who flooded again our house both in Sta Rosa and Lumban. This time I have photos taken in Sta Rosa City last Saturday morning October 31. It’s Friday night when we experience rainfall and strong wind. After my work at 6pm last Friday I went to SM Sta Rosa before I went home. The rain is not that hard until around 10pm. I borrowed umbrella to my friend because that time I’m in their house, were just living in the same vicinity. When I’m walking through the rain, I felt the strong typhoon at around 11pm. I slept around 12 in the evening. I woke up at around 3am because the wind blows our windows and it bothered us. Our windows are made of “capiz” and the house is almost old type. Strong rain and wind make water leaks to our window going to floor. “Tumuluto talaga sa bintana ung tubig dahil sa malakas na ampiyas ng bagyo at feeling naming liliparin ung bubong hahaha”. Some of my housemates transfer their bed to floor because of it. “Ang sarap matulog, malamig, kaya lang hindi kami makatulog, dahil sa ingay ng bintana at brown-out na”. Four of my housemate including 3 girls and a boy still went to work at 6am shift. They didn’t take a bath because we don’t had power and of course no water. I wake up at around 7am and there’s no strong typhoon. “Sarap ng hangin malamig at wala ng ulan”. But the flood is coming, hehehe. Flood is rising past along the road and soon entered in our house. After that moment, I took pictures one by one and we spent time watching the flooded area over our roof. Its fun to watch and lots of people is playing in the flood. Hahahaha I liked to go outside but the problem is we don’t have water to wash our feet at hands after we play in the flood. Better to watch them na lang. At around 12 noon no signs of flood and the road are dried. So I decided to go home in Lumban. Of course I didn’t take a bath because we don’t have water supplies. And oh my god!!! It’s too hard to find vans,jeepneys even buses going to our area. In van terminal at Complex Sta Rosa, “parang may relief goods distribution sa haba ng pila”. So I took jeep going to Calamba, then the situation is same. “So pumila na lng din ako at nag kakagula at unahan na sa pila at pagsakay”. Around 3pm nung nakasakay ako ng jeep from Calamba going to Sta Cruz. We passed through flooded towns of Bay,Calauan,Victoria,Pila,Sta Cruza and the Pagsanjan look like a ghost town, hehehe. Of course traffic sa mga daan dahil sa baha kay 530pm na ako nakarating nh bahay at brown-out pa. Ayun, kakatuwa na nakakapagod ang buong araw ko. Hahaha!!!!

 

Enjoy the pictures!!!! hehehe
