I now have a fair understanding of how 40 days and 40 nights of continuous rain could destroy the entire world! As of this writing (2:30 in the afternoon of 7 August 2012), there is no storm, typhoon, cyclone, low pressure area, nor dangerous weather system afflicting the Philippines, just your usual wet monsoon (i.e., "hanging habagat" in the vernacular). But Oh My God! This monsoon is by no means your ordinary wet monsoon. It's a FREAK southwest monsoon. It's been continuously raining for the past 3 days and flash floods have already wreaking havoc in central and southern regions of Luzon including the National Capital region, Metro Manila. It's freakishly scary!
