tropical rain

Mike tried to go to work Thursday morning [augst 9th]. Here's a crowd waiting to cross the flooded area of the road.....

Yah, it's been raining since we got here.  The first time we tried to cross high waters was on our way back from SM Taytay where we purchased more school supplies for Dylan and Tyler.  We almost stalled.  That night the rain came down so hard it sounded as loud as the thunder.  It just wouldn't let up and I was surprised that the electricity never shut off...as it most often does during tropical storms.  Next morning, Tuesday, I got several texts that school was off due to serious flooding throughout the entire city.  That was fine with Mike since he had no intentions of driving through that again.  However, he couldn't exactly go to work either.  So, the kids ended up having no school the rest of the week.  The rains didn't let up until days later.  We got more rain this week than what caused the flooding from Ondoy 2009.
