Baha: To cross or not to cross ??

[tagalnasaabroad]

errr..sir lart..kaya lang ano..?

[cutedoc]

naranasan kona baha while driving my civic, matic pa yun, sobrang kabado ako, ang lalim ng tubig, buti nalang a truck was in front of me kaya i just followed, 2nd time naman inakyat ko sa bangketa yung car tapos i stayed there for a while, nakakainis kasi ala na akong batery sa cell nun, kaya umuwi din ako when the waterwent a little lower, advice ko:
1. leave an ample amount of car on your car, kasi its better to park on a hotel rather than wait for water to subside mas matagal yun nagiintay lalo na kung alang kasama, i once parked my car sa chinese general hospital then i took LRT to go home, baha dun sa part na yun diba.
2. park your car somewhere mataas, kung near fastfood, hotel or mall mas ok
3. stay at hotel pa din mas safe
4. car charger to call your frens or gf pra di ka mabato sa traffic

not to cross:

wouldn't dare cross! if i have a choice to wait it out , i'd do that.

my aloted budget for car maintenance is a little tight

A couple of years ago along Timog Ave., Heavy rains for about 2 - 3 hours straight transfered timog ave into a small river with cars floating (those unfortunate enough to be parked near the street). Out of nowhere a Tamaraw FX bravely forged thru the waist deep flood and made it...palakpakan mga tao, while an Expedition stalled (guess what he stopped in the middle near the deepest part )

Ganyan din nakita ko sa Potrero Malabon. usually pag umaambon bumabaha hanggan baywang. yung FX puno ng passenger nakatawid pero namatay yung ilaw niya pagdating sa dulo. at least nakatawid siya.!
pag umulan doon hanggang bubong !

ako not to cross...hintay na lang bumaba yung baha kasi kahit maka cross ka, siguradong matatraffic ka naman kasi baha nga eh.

[mhelskie]

mataas pa nga ang lugar ng potrero malabon, pag sa banda sa amin (malabon area din) cgurado hindi makakasurvive ang kotse, mga jeep nga takot tumawid pag bumaha e...kya ako pag ganitong panahon, may mga damit ako sa oto, pamasok at panglakad, pati pangbahay hehehe, pag tumawag ako sa bahay at sinabing baha na, sabit na ako sa ofcmate or friend ko, dun na tulog, mahirap na abutan sa gitna ng bagyo/baha

otep,
normal lang yung iilaw yung alternator pag nasubmerge, but iikli yung buhay ng alternator, haqppened tome sa morayta, 3 years ago, sugod sa baha, umabot na ng head light tubig, but kayanan naman, in less than a year, nagpalit na me ng alternator. 3rd alternator kona now.

as much as possible never ko isusugod ang kotse ko sa baha..either i wait for it to subside or makitulog muna sa friends/kin na malapit sa area

[Kicker15]

probably the best thing to do is really wait for someone to cross it muna. you can see naman if the water is really deep. minsan dyan sa may araneta sobrang taas kala mo mababa lang.

[ILuvDetailing]

Would a snorkel help?

[JohnM]

Ingat nga pala kayo sa C5 northbound dyan sa may BCDA apartments. Binabaha ang area before sa Palar Bridge. Malalim both left and right lanes isang lane lang ang medyo mababaw. Ankle-deep lang naman ang shallow part so no probs sa kotse. Yun nga lang walang street lights dito at baka di nyo mapansin. Hiway pa naman.

[jvdejesus05]

as much as possible wag nang sumugod but if you do not have any choice, make sure sure ready to swim sa baha kapag huminto sasakyan mo.

[van_wilder]

i will not cross... yun lang...

[axelangel007]

no choice but to cross, bahaiin kasi area namin eh,kaya nga puro matass na sasakyan ang dala namin eh,pag kotse sigurado 4feet drive (2 tao tiga tulak)malas pag magisa lang ang nakasakay

[gearspeed]

Kung no choice ako at kaya pa naman ng tsikot ko.I'll cross pero kung mataas talaga ang baha aantayin ko na lang bumaba ang baha.
Mahirap na lowered pa naman tsikot ko..

[baurtwellXUV]

basta makauwi lang... wag lang alanganin yung baha.. hirap na.. katulad kagabi.. lakas na naman ng ulan...

nobody dared to cross the flooded portion of edsa last night. this is the portion approaching the santolan flyover north-bound. the water was knee-deep. vehicles just waited for it to subside and as a result a long traffic logjam ensued all the way to makati. this doesn't happen before and i was wondering what caused the flood on that portion of edsa.

i was one who got starnded to that part. grabe... ang tagal magsubside ng flood... why did this happen last night?! before naman hindi nagbabaha dyan....

[geode]

i was on the southbound part of edsa (early part of the downpour) nang biglang may nadaanan kaming baha before ortigas. nagulat ko and i had no choice but to cross (a little less than half the rim ung height) and sobrang kinakabahan ako. turned off the aircon and proceeded.

today indi na lumalamig ung a/c ko mukhang tinamaan ata huhuhu

[mrpink]

i was going to makati .. got myself into really bad traffic in front of sm city ... siguro a good 30-45 minutes lang kami slowly crawling ... the northbound lane in north ave... pala was flooded and only a few cars were braving through it and all the cars that appeared to be going southbound were trying to go take the u-turn going north were stranded at the u-turn section ... so they just jammed the entire southbound lane .. there was only 1 lane open, the rightmost lane .. which i had to inch my way through ... tipong perpendicular na yung car ko from edsa just trying to get to the rightmost lane ...
