Tropical Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy – local name) hits the Philippines and made a landfall on Luzon yesterday bringing huge floods in Metro Manila and other areas in Luzon.

Thousands of night workers and those who went to school and offices in the morning were still stranded and unrescued. Major highways were shut down due to floods and aftermaths of the typhoon. NAIA terminals have also cancelled flights and domestic flights around the country were stopped.

In some areas near the biggest dams in the metro which overflowed, the floods have reached up to six feet.
