Storm Nesat/Pedring: after its rage in Manila

After Manila was hit by storm Nesat/Pedring, its time for the urban city of Manila to regain its strength and prosperity. From the news, storm Nesat/Pedring is different compared to other typhoon especially the storm Ondoy which . In Manila, Roxas boulevard was severely hit by the storm because of the storm surge brought by the storm; the whole place boulevard was flooded as if it is part of the shore. I was at home that and listening to the howling sound of its wind of the storm, I think the whole day I was so bum at home because I have nothing to do, just tweaking my websites. I'm still lucky because we do have still an electricity compared to other place in Manila. After the storm leaves the Philippines, I grab my camera and went to Ermita here in Manila, because the part of Roxas Boulevard that was hit by the storm surge is Ermita Manila.


So I was walking in Taft Avenue, I already saw casualty that the storm left with.


Uprooted trees along Taft avenue.

So I am still walking along T.M Kalaw, fallen trees and branches along the way especially infront of the National Library.



So I already reach the starting point of Roxas Boulevard. The water is gone, but the whole stretch of Roxas Boulevard was covered by mud.





The Museo Pambata or Children's Museum Manila is one of the victim by the storm Nesat/Pedring, the place was devasted, trees were uprooted and the road within the premises was covered in mud. The local government of Manila are now trying to restore the said establishment.





Because the whole Roxas Boulevard was covered in mud, heavy traffic occur. Even the United States Embassy is restoring its operation after the storm.




I was at the shore of Manila Bay, you will still feel the presence of the storm by its gustiness wind that surround the place. At the same time it is high-tide, so expect a high waves breaking the walls along the bay.






When I was going to Quirino Grandstand, along the way, commercial establishment within the premises are closed, and covered with mud. Even my chucks also taste the mud.



Walls on some properties are destroyed because of strong winds that hit Manila last tuesday.





Manila Ocean Park is also recovering, because the place was flooded.

I hope that this storm that hits Manila would be the last. Being prepared is one way to survive this kind of disaster. But still the Urban City of Manila will survive.
