Pasensya na if it's not up to award winning standards.

Be careful out there.

Brave Heart Dave. Balita nga dito abroad na grabe daw ang bagyo na experience nyo ngayon dyan.

no more? take some more dave... hehehe kidding...

better to stay at home ... flying debris everywhere

Yup. I just saw it now that the rain in my image is already nearly sideways.

Things don't look so good... Thanks for the photos though Dave, at least it gives me some idea of what it looks like back home.

Hope all our families and friends stay safe. :)

I just got home after literally hours outside battling the typhoon.. great capture dave..

i should've taken shots earlier.. It was amazing how we can see flying debris out of our office windows.. and we are at the 23rd floor..

take care everybody

Scary,, Thanks for sharing Dave, I will call my sister tonight, just to make sure everything is okay, But i do hope na meron power and dial tone there in Manila

I was about to trek to Ayala but chickened out when I heard on the radio two people died of electrocution. So I took photos around the house and village instead

tell me about it... cant imagine the reaction of the owner of the wrecked car.:(

hope everyone is safe.

I was planning to go out today and shoot in the rain. One step out the studio and I was right back in!! There were at least 5 trees knocked down in Rada st.:Shock: The damage that this tyhpoon has made is unbelievable.

I know I'd freak out! I was seeing horizontal rain and alot of debris flying around...

mmmmmmmm... This certainly makes one of those times when I miss my F150. :(

thanks for the photos. it looks really bad there back home. by the way, dave, what camera did you use for that shot? was it water-sealed?

I was in Edsa at 1130am and there were tree branches, "yero", slippers, umbrellas, pilons flying everywhere... pasig river was in full swing... most of the billboards were ripped... a lot of shanty houses were roofless now... along ayala ave, it was like driving in a slalom of tree branches and uprooted trees mixed with fallen street signs... traffic lights were just blinking yellow. We just had to slow down to avoid the flying objects and really stay in the leftmost lane for fear that the billboards might fall on us.

http://static.flickr.com/99/254917950_4b41f96c09.jpg

By 12:15pm, we were on the skyway. now, don't ask me what made me decide to take that route. Our vehicle was practically being blown to the right. My hubby was fighting it back by turning the wheel to the left. All sort of things were flying everywhere. yes, on the skyway. By this time, only the BDO (Edsa-Magallanes) billboard was up.

it was dead scarey!

And, that was just the first half of the story. When we got home, we had to make sure the water wouldn't go in. We sealed the aircon and the windows. It was frightening because the wind was whistling and the kids were worried. Looking outsidethe window, I can see all the trees swaying in two directions... bent to their full capacity, fighting for their own existence as well.

Home safe now... and lucky to be online...

P.S. Didn't even bother taking more photos after Ayala Ave... the skyway adventure just freaked me out...

Brave shutter triggerman!!!

Documentation of what happened in Pinas that I really missed.
Wanna see my home. feel home with family.

Your a great shooter dave.

Putting things in perspective... The earth has a unique way of cleaning itself up... After a storm, the skies just clear without a trace... Yup, today is another day. :)

I was planning to go out today and shoot in the rain. One step out the studio and I was right back in!! There were at least 5 trees knocked down in Rada st.:Shock: The damage that this tyhpoon has made is unbelievable.


so true. walked home from glorietta yesterday, not only in Rada were trees knocked down and uprooted, but also in salcedo, etc.. I think all streets had at least 5 trees / branches knocked down.. it was horrible... (too bad I didnt have my camera, would've loved to have taken photos.. it was about 4pm, no more strong winds and rain wasnt bad.. )

Achi! daming damage daw sa Rustan's sabi ni Happy. The employees had to be sent home early baka masaktan. tsk tsk

i agree with you Earl! the sky is so clear now. what a day yesterday!

Thanks everyone.

Great and powerful images everybody!

Maybe the Editors of DPP will make a article about this (hint hint)!

dave> will bring it up with nick.

Ha ha ha ha! I was kidding!

Anyway, I know it's not related, but I woke up at 4:30 from the heat (no electric fan). I didn't waste the moment and took this dawn shot since the city was so dark it was eerie, it felt like I was at the beach shooting the sky!

will post my pics when i have time. i feel terrible for those who lost loved ones or are homeless in the wake of milenya. i did not expect it to be this strong. a lot of trees in my area were knocked down. lots of cleaning up to do. havent seen it this bad in almost a decade. lots of billboards collapsed as well .

took some shot from the car...

what a storm!

lots of billboards collapsed as well .

i counted 6 from bicutan, down c5 to katipunan.

Too scared to shoot during the storm but managed to roam around with my camera after the worst has passed.

A few shots I took from the car (using my mobile phone only).
I was in EDSA in the early afternoon and saw the damage that the typhoon brought to the trees, concrete walls, pink barriers and those now infamous billboards.

After Buendia going North, MMDA troops were diverting cars towards Rockwell. Initially, I played good citizen and followed but decided to U-turn back to EDSA and pass by the collapsed billboard where 1 person died...

I was just right next to the wreck when I saw his body pulled into a stretcher (photo28-09-06_1351.jpg) and taken out of the area. I tried to take a pic but the shot was blocked by some onlookers. It wasn't a pretty sight anyway.

Sir Earl, sorry i didn't get that? Seriously, what kind of camera could you bring out with that kind of weather?

Aaron, I just meant that Levi stated that he used his phone's camera to get a quick pick... Thus, the low res. image but still a good capture IMO... :)

The same can be said with McKinley Road, Forbes Park. Passed by there this noon. That once shaded strech of road is now very well lit because of all the uprooted century old trees. Very sad to see all those trees lying at the side of the road. :(

Yup I saw the residence of the American Ambassador. Wasak yung walls! even the house of Sultan was not spared.

Here's some pictures from Polo Club, post-Milenyo. Good bye "tower" of the Cogon village.

Unfortunately we still don't have electricity/water in our village so I'm now with my sister in Libis. My first taste of light and aircon!!!! Anyway nice catpure guys! I just saw this now - siyempre may internet sila dito so ride narin ako. Here are a few shots I took.

You guys have very nice photographs. What happened was really sad. I hope this doesn't happen again. This is the strongest typhoon I've experienced. We still don't have electricity here in our village as well. I went around and took some pictures including the village beside us. Most of the streets have been cleared with minor obstruction except for one that I passed by...the street was blocked by the electrical post. Anyway, God bless those who lost a loved one!

Nice pics Dindin, and thank you for sharing them. I'm glad that you and your family are ok likewise the same thing goes for some of our members here at DPP. I've experienced what Typhoon Rosing did in '95 but this is much worst. :( I really felt sorry for some of our Kababayans and what happened to their homes and cars. Sayang ang mga puno, hindi na bale ang mga gigantic billboards, they're just a nuisance to everything on the roads.
