MANILA, Philippines – Tropical storm "Megi" (international codename) could bring the same amount of rain as Ondoy, the weather bureau said on Friday.

“If it enters, it would be a typhoon category. Ondoy is a tropical storm category. Ondoy would actually be of a lesser strength. However, if you start looking at the amount of rainfall that Juan (local codename) is going to bring, satellite imagery shows that the amount of rain it’s bringing is basically similar to what Ondoy had dropped in Metro Manila,” said Graciano Yumul, chief of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

Ondoy dumped one month's volume of rain in just a few hours, flooding large parts of the metropolis such as Marikina, Pasig, Quezon City, Manila, Marikina, Caloocan, and Muntinlupa. Floods were from "knee/neck-deep to roof-top deep."

*Monseratto, what's your take on the potential wind speeds? As strong as the last bagyo we had this year? (The one which directly hit MM, I forgot it's name)

[renzo_d10]

Tatama ba siya sa metro manila ?

[Monseratto]

Hopefully it won't. Pero the last one to hit MM, the forcast kept changing. Less than 12 hrs lang nalaman tatama pala.



Useful TIP!

For those who lose internet and TV coverage during brownouts, you can get updates from Typhoon2000 by texting "T2K TYPHOON" or "T2k TYPHOON SIGNALS" to 2800 (Globe/TM) or 216 (Smart/TnT).

The T2k TYPHOON SIGNALS update is useful for knowing if your kid will have school... but to know whether to run to the hills in fear, the T2K TYPHOON update is better.

Save it on your cellphone now. It comes in handy. I've been using it all night.

This doesn't sound good at all.

Habang nasa dagat pa yan mas lalakas pa lalo yan if it hasn't reached its "peak" strength yet.

[_Cathy_]

It's already raining hard in our area! I thought the storm was coming in tomorrow or Monday morning?

Tuloy tuloy na ba? Why does it have to be on a Saturday night

[lae]

sana humina siya nakakatakot baka maulit ulit ang ondoy. asa labas pa aman auto ko. haist

[[archie]]

nagparamdam na rin sa area namin yung rainfall. its stopped na pero ill bet we havent seen the last of it.

bukas daw bagsak ng ulan sa northern luzon area. maghanda na lang tayo mga ka-tsikot. it never hurts to prepare for typhoons.

[jonski]

Umulan ng malakas sa STa.Rosa Laguna kanina pero 10 minutes lang.

[renzo_d10]

Was using the FD and was in manila this whole afternoon. Ohyes, inabutan ko yung start up to the end of the rainfall. Guess what, grabe ang baha ! But since I needed to go home na, wala ako nagawa but to pass through. Found small streets wherein I could go and avoid the floods, pero naiwasan ko nga yung Espana, but yun lang. Everything else was flooded.

Yung way papunta ng Q.Ave sa may E-rod, bahang baha. Mga buong wheel ng isang sedan, may tumirik na nga na vanette e.

Mukhang masama ito.

[shadow]

balewala yan...

I don't think there will be another Ondoy, tsamba lang

[Chikselog]

Weird na hindi umulan dito sa Valenzuela.

Dumilim lang tapos lumakas hangin, then wala na.

[[archie]]

balewala yan...

I don't think there will be another Ondoy, tsamba lang

sa totoo lang, ako din. i dont think there will be another ondoy. best lang to prepare for the worst para hindi panic mode kung sakali.
