August Moonsoon Mayhem: Floodwaters Enter Our House







After Ondoy flooded our house in October of 2012, we realized how vulnerable our location wise.  I've never really noticed that small creek beside our house till that terrible day - and by then, knew that we were in for more flooding if rains like that of Ondoy occurred.

Three years later, our fears became reality once again -as the incessant rains from Sunday, August 5 until Tuesday, August 7, finally caused another Ondoy-type flooding.  This time, the waters seeped in at 5AM.  The rise was a bit slower than Ondoy but still as frightening.  The water entered the house by 7AM and rose to its highest between noon till the evening as the rains never stopped.

Our electricity was cut by 9AM and lasted for more than 30 hours.  We had to survive two candlelit dinners!

Our whole driveway was flooded up to 8 feet during the peak of the flooding but subsided to just around waist level.  They said the water went down 22 hours after it came in.

Below are some pictures of the flooding in our house and driveway -
