Who dumped more rain? ?Mario? or ?Ondoy?? | Inquirer News

MANILA, Philippines–Even as the severe flooding brought by the rains of Tropical Storm “Mario” that shut down Metro Manila on Friday brought memories of that other killer tropical storm five years ago, the amount of rainfall “Mario” continues to dump in the metropolis won’t be twice as much.
‎”Wala pa tayo doon sa 455 millimeters ng Ondoy. The highest (amount of rainfall) we saw for ‘Mario’ was around 200 millimeters,” Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II told a media briefing Friday.


No wonder this country is always in a disaster. We got stupid politicians talking about the weather as if their the expert instead of dealing with rescue & relief operation and what the goverment is doing to mitigate floodings.
