Your Baha Experience

[notEworthy27]

PK pala... hehe perv! hahahahah

oo nga pala, what happens when you shift while fording? papasukin ba ang clutch fluids ng water?

[pajerokid]

Hehehe. Simpleng manyak lang po ako... hindi garapal. Napabuti naman ang pagkasibak sakin dun.

Jed, never shift while in the water.

[Supierreman]

naalala ko rin noon..turn off your Aircon. pagnaka On kase umaandar yung condenser fan hihigop ng tubig yun papunta sa engine.

[mbt]

far as i know, di kailangan mag high-rpm pag tumatawid ng baha, kahit ma-submerge na yung exhaust tip.

just put it in 1st gear, and proceed slowly into the water when the car in front of you has successfully traversed it. maintain a steady pressure on the throttle, keep the rpm steady at <2000 rpm (resulting to a speed at about 5 kph or something).

don't step on the clutch, or worse, slip the clutch. if you do this, water may enter the clutch assembly and you'd have a greatly sliding clutch. don't shift gears too until you get out of the water.

for automatics, just put it in 1st gear and cross slowly, keeping your foot off the brake. automatic transmissions are more water-resistant than manual gearboxes.

but still, crossing floods should be a last resort. too many things could go wrong by crossing -- diffs could get contaminated by water, for example.

Ako napadaan ako sa buendia dahil pupunta ako sa makati nun nagulat ako dahil ang lalim pala ng baha dun buti na lang nakaya pa ng small car ko yung baha umabot na nga sa may door ko yung baha buti hindi pumasok sa loob ng car ko..
Ang ginawa ko habang naka stop naka rev pa rin ako then habang umaadar ng mabagal rev ako ng rev nun...nasa harap ko pa nga Expedition at ginawa ko na lang iba na lang ang dinaanan ko bumalik na lang ako sa vito cruz...:D Natatakot kase ako baka tumirik ako...:D

[wowiesy]

driving a ford ranger pinatubo 4x4 on a saturday night, with heavy rains last 2002.

coming from makati ayala ave going to the fire station at the corner of ayala and buendia.... left ako dun.. diretso diretso.. pagtawid ko ng pasong tamo, since gabi na at ang lakas ng ulan, di ko gano makita yung daan.. tahimik naman walang dumadaan na ibang cars.. so sige sugod... baha pala..

i thought to myself.. okay lang.. 4x4 (=16) naman ang dala ko.. so no need to worry... nagulat na lang ako nung malapit lapit na ako sa may flyover (intersection of buendia and south super highway) na umabot na ng front hood yung baha at na cover na yung headlights ko!!!

no choice na ako but to continue on... hanggang sa bumabaw uli hehe.. wala naman damage sa pickup.. aside sa mga sumabit sabit na basura, yung headlights pinasok ng tubig... that's about it... hanggang ngayon going strong pa rin yung ranger... mechanically wala pang sakit ng ulo... mga gasgas at bangga lang sa kaha...

i'll never forget that night... hehe...

before in batangas may baha kami na nilisob since kala ko naman mababaw lang and my dad said na derecho kami so we proceeded not knowing na ang taas pala nung isang part. Nakita na lang ng mom ko yung water eh nasa may window na, para kaming nasa aquarium sa takot ko todo apak sa accelerator and fortunately di kami tumirik. sobrang basang basa lang yung loob ng car nag linis kami ng interior ng di oras.

[Kicker15]

dito naman sa metro manila hinatid ko yung firend ko who lives in Malabon. Gabi pa naman malay ko ba na sobrang taas ng baha dun eh wala pa ko 1 year na nagddrive nun. buti na lang di tumirik yung car. i had to spend the night in their house kasi di na ko makauwi.

[carlocaraddict]

one more baha experience when we brought our brand new Corolla GLi sa Pangasinan for break-in last Nov.2000. May part sa may Tarlac na super lalim yung baha kasi bumabagyo nun (signal #2), matraffic nun tapos yung BMW 5-series na sinusundan namin biglang nag stop, yun pala, pababa yung daan, no choice kami, pero di naman napasukan. Nabinyagan yung car namin nun, hahahahah!

way back about 14years ago bumaha sa MM; kahit karag-karag na ride can't afford non;

galing akong navotas as a volunteer for ONE YEAR in one NGO immersing with squatters woes & helping out lessen their plights..

meron din palang malaimpyerno dusa kahit basang-basa kana sa ulan at baha..

umalis ako navotas alas singko ng hapon dumating ako sa manggahan pasig alas tres ng madaling araw!

asar si commander..pano, committed nako at least i'm just proving to anybody kaya kong lumusong sa ganitong sitwasyon at maipaabot ang aking makakaya sa kabutihan ng mga kapos sa ating lipunan..

hindi nako umulit after my involvement lapsed with the NGO..bigat talaga pero masarap ang pakiramdam makatulong don sa mga nangangailangan..

i may have to visit this colony if given the time and just say hello to them.. after all ok naman samahan namin..

my baha experience, well ang sarap ng mataas na 4x4. i was driving from norht harbor to makati in my suzuki samurai and most areas were already flooded. medyo naka raise yung smmy ko so doon ako dumaan sa mga lugar na hindi dumadaan ang mga kotse. i think i passed through leon guinto then kamagong all the way to kalayaan.

sawap at naka uwi ako, hehehehehe

OT: sometimes, i purposely go out and drive in the floods just to test the height of my ride. so far so good pa naman

:D

[notEworthy27]

i think i have to get my truck checked...mahirap na ang magkaproblema...nagkamali ako before nung nasa katipunan ako. napashift ako into second gear while in wheelwell depth.pero nung naramdaman ko na parang mamamatay binalik ko sa 1st gear...after getting out, pagka nag bre break maingay or something shakes badly. pero after that day wala naman na. what do you think guys?

[carlocaraddict]

ako ayaw ko na maranasan ulit, sa pampanga going to subic. i had to be there kasi kahit bumabagyo, may seminar akong pupuntahan.

sa detour ito, unpassable na ang olongapo-gapan road. so pag-liko sa detour may 300 meter portion na baha, siguro deepest was 1 foot. ok naman nakalampas ako, pero takot na ako baka tumirik e. then halfway na ko lapit na sa bataan may baha na naman. eto talaga ang tagal ko nag-isip kung tutuloy pa ako o hindi, kasi nakita ko yung mga suv/pick ups na dumadaan e almost whole height ng tyres nila lubog sa tubig saka lakas ng current. pero i really had to be in subic at bayad na yung seminar, $800 pa naman plus hotel. luckily may mga tulak boys nag-offer na itulak ako, 7 sila sa group. sabi sa akin P200 daw bayad. off daw ang engine para di pasukin ng tubig. so off ang engine then nilagyan nila ng plastic cover yung air intake saka exhaust pipe saka seal ng duct tape. galing may baon na duct tape mga koloks! so tulak nila car ko, nasa loob ako. halfway naku po! i felt the car floating!!! pag may kasalubong na victory liner talaga naman po umaalon ang car, para akong nakasakay ng rubberboat na maliit! yung mga tulak boys lumipat sila sa left side ng car at tinatangay na car ko ng tubig!!! pero looked like sanay na sila, naka-abot naman kami sa kabila. higit 500 meters yung baha!

pagdating sa kabila tanggal nila yung plastic and duct tape sa air intake saka exhaust. inspect muna ako, konting tubig lang sa trunk, wala pang 1 cup. di naman pinasok ng tubig ang cabin. dry na dry ang air filter. pati yung exhaust dry din! start ko engine, 1 click! sa tuwa ko binigyan ko P500 mga koloks! daan daw ulit ako dun pauwi libre na hehehehe!

after 10 days going home to qc may bagyo na naman. so ginawa ko palipas muna ko extra 2 days sa subic. nanalo naman ako sa casino so ok lang, kesa naman tumirik ako sa daan. or worst, pulutin ako sa manila bay!

[wreckless]

haha * yebo..

hmm..experienced a bit flooding..
pero d naman sobra masyado..
starex pa sasakyan ko nun..
experienced fording it through floods hanggang sa may sidings.
ok naman.

inaalala ko yung route ko ngayon..
dumadaan kasi ako sa boni..
yung underpass sa ilalim ng EDSA..
though di ko naman na-try dumaan kanina
kasi di ako sa bahay nagwork.

[jkyamog]

Madami na ako naging flooding experience. Most are with my trusty Feroza. I think the worse I got is headlight level, so that is about bewang level sa tao. Mabait talaga sa akin ang Feroza ko, ang dami na namin dinaan na baha. What I normally do is hunt for flooded streets because chances are walang traffic. For example I pass by sa may Makati Cinema since baha lagi doon, also sa my Libertad area.

I normally pause before going in, observing people and mostly buses if how deep the roads are. Pati dapat familiar na ako sa road para alam ko kung saan ang potholes and open man holes. If the flood is bumper level, I pass the road at sumasabay ako sa likod ng buses and trucks para sa bow wave nila. First gear, off air con tapos and gas lang to control. After crossing first gear pa rin, step on gas and left foot on brakes. Para matanggal ang water sa brakes.

I think the longest baha experience for me was there was one time in metro manila nag grid lock. Siguro mga 1997 or 1998 iyon, where most people was not able to go home. My Feroza was able to bring home 3 other people to their homes, including one that is sick. Grabe almost 14 hours siya going into side streets taking the flood.

Earliest baha experience for me is a bit sketchy. Ang alam ko naka Opel Manta or Ascona kami sa north luzon. I think sa may highway kami surrounded by palayan or something, when it started to really rain hard. From what I remember nag flood ang loob ng car where the floor mats can't be seen anymore. Still we are able to go home safe and sound.

[diesoline]

labrador, pangasinan junction during the night the domalandan bridge went down. after making a left on the junction, high water na, my lights suddenly flickered and became super dim. i thought it was because my trusty patrol's electricals were going awry. ayun pala, the water reached the headlights na! sobra kaba ko talaga. it was that deep for about 50 meters. after that, about a kilometer of knee-deep to thigh deep water . sobrang memorable talaga.

[effone]
