Here’s a vignette from Time magazine: In Manila’s suburban Marikina city, a sofa hung from electric wires. Resident Jeff Aquino said floodwaters rose to his home’s third floor at the height of the storm Saturday, when it dumped more than a month’s worth of rain in just 12 hours.
AFP Photo Aquino, his wife, three young children and two nephews spent that night on their roof without food and water, mixing infant formula for his 2-year-old twins with the falling rain. “We thought it was the end for us,” Aquino said. The government has declared a “state of calamity” in metropolitan Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces, including many that have not flooded before, allowing officials to use emergency funds for relief and rescue. More than 450,000 people were affected by the storm, including some 115,000 brought to about 200 schools, churches and other evacuation shelters, officials said. Troops, police and volunteers have been able to rescue more than 7,900 people so far, Teodoro said.
