TIL
Iirc wala pang Doppler radar ang PAGASA noong panahon ng Ondoy kaya hindi rin nila napredict yung dami ng ulan.
Kaya pala akala ko wala lang yung signal number 1, tapos yun pala kada ilang minuto hahangin at aambon/uulan 😵
Alala ko nung Ulysses nagreklamo ako na bakit wala naman ulan pero yung hangin dinaig pa mga ibang bagyong dumaan for the last decade or so na hanggang Signal no. 1 lang, haha.
I was unaware of the flooding that Ondoy caused during its peak. Electricity wasn't cut off in our area either, internet connection was doing fine as well. It was only when I attempted to go out of the house to buy some food that I realized the damage it caused. No floods in our area, thankfully, but we're almost literally an island that day.
I should have been aware of the near-constant torrential rain all night and all throughout that morning though.
