Manila floods

 I am back in Manila, Philippines.
Last week this area experienced some extreme weather.
This is the typhoon season here and Manila receives an average of 20 typhoons a year!
I am in Makati which is on high ground so no flooding.
While I didnt go out much during this time..I found some great photos online.

Those who lived in the low lying areas had some flooding.
The city had 15 inches of rain in 2 days.
Many rivers overflowed as the streets became the rivers.

For the locals it was just another storm as you can see by the photos....

Everybody went to high ground

Meanwhile...life continued on.

The Filipinos are amazing.
Their positive spirit and smiliing faces while experiencing such hardship was seen everywhere.
They just always make the best of the situation.
