I travelled from Urdaneta to Tarlac City and back again this morning. McArthur Highway is already passable to light vehicles. There's just a little bit of flooding (around 2 inches above highway level) between Paniqui and Moncada. Its a bit depressing to pass through Paniqui right now, seeing our countrymen living near the highway, trying to salvage the few appliances or possessions they have that were not damaged by the flood waters. I agree with the suggestion on the previous page: anyone who can donate to the flood victims should do so.
