somebody lend us a CHOPPER
No I'm not kidding.
Last night, my Mom and I found out that the entire Calapan, Oriental Mindoro has been flooded up to the chest, and it didn't even rained hard. It was the first time in my Lola's 65 year-stay in our province.
Apparently, some dike beside the ocean was destroyed and let all the water in.
Now, she, together with my Tita's family, is stuck in the second level without electricity. They can't even go to the market to buy food because of the water. The entire first floor is drenched and their appliances are packed inside the small rooms of that wooden hut. I'm just scared it might collapse since it's made out of really old wood.
My Mom has been calling them via landline, and they said the waters aren't going down and it even got higher this morning. Both of us feel helpless because we have no idea how we can go there and try to rescue them. They also don't know when the floods will subside so they might be staying up there for a couple of days, hopefully, not weeks.
I really don't know what to do, but pray for them. I hope that's enough for now.
