Is Everyone Okay? Flood Updates

It's been raining continuously for the past 24 hours here in Metro Manila and in other parts of the Philippines. I'm stranded here at my house and while I'm lucky to be living in a subdivision at high elevation, we still haven't been spared by the relentless rain.

Yehp, that's the back of our house. Flooded. This is amazing considering our house almost never floods. Sure the pond out back overflows a little, but it's never gotten to the point where I'd have to personally evacuate my dog from her little den out back. If it's flooding at such high elevations already, I can only imagine how it is elsewhere. So far I can only build upon updates, but here's how it's like:

 SM Bacoor, Cavite via @jessajofficial

La Mesa Weir via Mark Mulingbayan

San Juan City via Yuan Basa

 Taft Ave now from FB Harison to Lawton via The Philippine Navy

Waist-high waters via Erik de Castro

SM Marikina basement parking area via @ryan_chua

Manila City Hall via Alex Da Greyt

PhilCoa to  Maginhawa via @arolfleopard

Marikina River/Marcos Hi-way via Rey Barcelon

University of Sto. Tomas Grounds via Jacky Querubin Corpuz

NLEX Malinta Exit  via Yhan Dumalay Ramos

Water Level in Marikina via YouScoop

So obviously, the flood at the back of my house is nothing compared to what's going on elsewhere. With that being said, I urge everybody to keep safe and stay indoors if possible.
