Flood In the Philippines

Just spoke to my uncle last night who lives in Northern Luzon, Philippines, specifically, La Union province. They were having heavy rains non-stop for two weeks and literally soaked the whole Northern Luzon where one bridge who use to be 100 feet above the surface of the river, have been submerged in water.

The whole region cannot move, people were stuck in their houses busy taking out the water with buckets. All major cities in that region were flooded at least at the waist level, and damaged lots of houses. The hurricane that came with the rain made it worst. I'm glad my folks are okay. I feel bad for those who badly affected. They said this is the first time that it happened in the history of Northern Luzon, the size almost of Georgia, USA.
