Typhoon Juan and Marikina River Water Level Update

Typhoon Juan, with international name Megi, is not yet leaving the country but every Marikenyos, since the start of the week, are praying he will. The typhoon was violent last night with its strong winds and hard rain. In our area in  Nangka, a transformer from a nearby lamp post broke down and we exprienced power interruption for about an hour. Thanks to Meralco, for the first time in my life, I’m impressed with how they responded and fixed the power problem.  

This morning, Metro Manila is still under the storm signal No.1 but the Department of Education decided to suspend all classes from different levels to bring home the students to safety as a precautionary measure just in case the typhoon go harder and the water level from the Dam and the Marikina River go up.

As of 5:00PM this afternoon, here are some updates about typhoon Juan and the water level of our dear Marikina River:
