- Yesterday, September 26, 2009, Saturday, we Filipino's just experienced another great typhoon, which flooded major areas of Luzon, Philippines. Typhoon "ONDOY" with international name "KETSANA", brought houses, establishments, cars and busses and people under water, leaving many stranded and homeless. I was able to scout portions of disaster stricken areas near my house in order to assess the damage it has caused.

The typhoons that were witnessed are the strongest and most destructive in present Philippine history. This means that we should expect more typhoons of this magnitude or maybe this is just an introduction of the worst to come.

Note: Notice the brownish color of the floodwaters, which means that there is silt due to massive soil erosion .........If there are no trees, there is nothing to hold the soil. If there are no trees, there's nothing to hold the water.........Take a glimpse at GOOGLE EARTH.com and see what I mean.
