This afternoon my mom asked me drive her to her favorite parlor somewhere in Bacoor, Cavite. It is raining hard but still I have to drive her there. Upon leaving our garage, as i looked down the street from our house, I saw a big lumber lying right on the ground and all I can do is take a detour. The wind was strong, It’s storm signal #2 so I can’t imagine what lies to the next few kilometers that I’ll be driving to. I’m the kind of guy that observes everything on the road while driving so I would notice how devastated the surroundings were.

Trees were knocked down, almost everywhere you can see flood because of nonstop raining. There are floods which you cannot cross, and if you do, you’ll risk losing your car’s breaks and may risk your car’s health, better asses things first before trying to cross. That’s what I did and so i drove myself through the flood carefully and slowly. Cavite is such a bad place when it comes to development of drainage systems, road lights and markers and the safety of the road. In fact, It is very dangerous especially if you are just a first time driver passing through cavite’s aguinaldo highway. Imagine a strong typhoon while you are driving and there are no lights or street lights, there are high flood level and so on. Do you think it would be safe? nah.

We arrive safely to our destination, But then again, going home is another story. much prolonged rain and higher water level, what good can it get? Just be careful and make the rain dance with you to safety. Kudos!
