Hahaha nahiya yun GMA at whole day special coverage for typhoon uls, hinde puro cartoons and foreign movie na dub sa tagakog like nun typhoon rolly.

At least hinde na nakakahiya na "news TV" yun name ng channel nila.

The NRRMC Chairperson mentioned on the radio that there was "limited science" to actually predict the volume of rainfall coming in.

Thanks to Project NOAH, the GMA and PNoy governments acquired Doppler radar precisely to get an accurate picture (literally) of incoming rainfall compared to the geography of the land and location of the estuaries.

The NRRMC Chairman is likely unaware of this. He actually sounded like he was from 2005 and not 2020.

Oh wait, the Duterte government SCRAPPED Project NOAH. :facepalm:

Panahon pa ni noynoy nawalan ng pondo yang project noah, DOST-UP yan, in conflict na sa PAG ASA at MGB.

Kahit "limited science" ang gobyerno wala ba experience mga tao sa previous typhoons na tumama sa NCR?

Short memory ba mga tao?

Nakalimutan ang Ondoy?

Juice ko sa mga photos palang ng approaching typhoon uls pulang pula

Dami ulan yan

Tapos di nakapaghanda sisisihin gobyerno

... i initially thought MGB was kabayan's "magandang gabi, bayan".

'di nga bah,
the filipino has a very short memory.
lookit the elections, atpb...

Speaking for myself I think I was adequately warned

Sa posts palang ni Mons and Shadow

Naghanap din ako ng additional info sa twitter

Even if i tried to downplay it my mind there's no denying tatamaan ang NCR and by the looks of satellite photos madami ulan ito

So I entertained the thought baka Ondoy uli ito

[_Cathy_]

Tingin ko naging complacent mga tao

Maybe from experience with Rolly people in NCR thought same lang mangyayari

Kagabi there was little rain

Then wind picked up... Then the rain increased

Madaling araw yun

Maybe people thought it won't get worse na last night and went to sleep

I'm guilty of this. I thought it was gonna be another Rolly. I had ZERO preparations at all. If I knew the typhoon was gonna be bad, I wouldn't have left my car out on the street. Come midnight nga sumisipol na yung hangin! WTF! I was up until 4 am because fat lab was so restless, worried din ako baka matanggal yung bubong na ginawa ng all around namin sa bodega. Yung all around namin nagalala because we have a humongous over 2 story high mango tree but that survived milenyo so that was not my concern.

Naging kampante mga tao dahil naka taas ang signal no. 3 sa NCR kahapon ng tanghali pero hindi masyado ramdam (mahina ang ulan na may konting hangin).

Problema, bandang 11PM nagsimula na maramdaman yung lakas ng hangin at ulan kaya ang mga tao wala na oras para magpunta ng evacuation center.

EDIT: possible din kaya na umasa masyado ang tao na mababasag ang bagyo once na dumaan sa Sierra Madre gaya nung Bagyong Rolly?

That's true, caught off guard ako. Marami pala lugar sa MM wala pa kuryente until now

even if the barangay town crier were to walk the streets with a basmayor-type loudspeaker,
it still takes a lot of willpower, to leave one's house.
i imagine, if the warning were because they were gonna explode a nuclear bomb in the river, many folks will probably still choose to hide it out in their ref, or in the banyo.

'di bah, when the typhoon is extra-memorable, the name is retired...

joke lang po.

Realistically ano bang paghanda ang gagawin? Pag meron bagyo darating? There's really nothing you can do about it.

Sa regular Filipino like me ang gauge namin ng bagyo eh yung signal number. Dito ko nga lang sa Tsikot nabasa na mala Ondoy eh ilan ilan lang naman tayo dito. And kahit expect ko na na malakas nabigla pa din ako.

Tsaka totoo yung sabi nila na medyo na underestimate kasi walang paramdam until gabi. Tapos nung nagstart na umulan sobrang ang bilis na ng mga pangyayari.

i'm not from the area, so i do not know what warnings the local authorities there, did.
but in my cellphone, the messages i got were generic warnings to seek higher ground,
no estimates re. flood water heights were mentioned.

i am wondering, what specific warnings did the local authorities do, in the area?

my cellphone does.
some of my colleagues, when their cellphones receive these warning messages, sound off with a very noisy racket. nakaka-bigla.

For those who live in flood prone areas, move their cars to higher ground. Mag charge ng phone/rechargeable light or prepare the generator. Mag ipon ng tubig. Nawalan kami kuryente madaling araw and I did NOT hear any of our neighbors run their generator, pwede din tulog na at hindi napansin nawalan ilaw? Marami sa mga gamit sa garage nagliparan (I leave cash in our garage pang bayad sa deliveries na COD, buti hindi tinangay yung paper weight!)

It came like a thief in the night

Mahirap talaga kasi madaling araw nag peak, maraming caught off guard

I wonder why I never get those NDRRMC messages
