Looks like there will be a few late model vehicles for sale cheap in the near future. Only driven to church by a little old lady and only in one flood. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary D Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Can we have some, it's not rained here in the UK since 28th May, we're not far from water shortages. Our family are on the Dinilupihan side of Hermosa, no one has been on line for a day now so can only assume there is a brownout in the area. Our house won't flood but the barungy will most likely be cut off. Food will become a problem as no one stocks up, often buying for a couple of days at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the video of SCTEX in that area? Your family is probably safe as I have not heard of any serious casualties. Drinking water is also a problem as many wells are flooded and not safe. Here is another video: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I've just left Puerto Galera for Manila, heavy rain as I left but dry and clear here in Manila so far although there is an amber weather warning for rain. Part of the road I used this morning while avoiding trees and large branches has collapsed. Someone in their infinite wisdom pierced holes for about 3km to make it easier to break up for replacing. The problem is the road follows the contours of a hill. I said the rain would wash away the soil underneath and it has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day there was a landslide in the mountains that closed the main highway between Iloilo and Antique. Luckily there is an old highway that take a beach route around the mountains. It is farther, but a prettier drive. They just got the mountain road open (for buses and cars - 10 wheelers have to take the old highway), and now the bridge is flooded out near the town of Miagao. My wife is not sure if there is another way around. This could be a big problem for all the buses and vans... the rainy season - it is more fun in the Philippines Lol ouch, need to go to IloIlo airport from Antique on Thursday, could be a long drive lol.

The landslide is cleared enough for buses now. There are 2 temporary bridges during road construction in Miagao - one for 'light' vehicles, one for 'heavy'. We heard they are allowing buses to use the "light" traffic bridge at Miagao. No 10 wheeler trucks, but buses and vans are supposed to be ok... Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
