Essential reading, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , as a way to put Hurricane Patricia’s destructive power to perspective.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The article didn’t include the rainstorm Ketsana/Ondoy, the queen motherfucker of all rainstorms, and the insane monsoon rains in ‘12 and ‘13, though !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has a feature for those three.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

In any case, there you go.

By that I meant that I had no idea of the destruction those storms did.

The choice of punctuation threw me off a bit, but yes. It’s unnerving, bordering on surreal. And this is coming from a Filipino already.

I don’t live in the places described in the first article, but Metro Manila, on which the city where I’m in is located, got served some of that good stuff in 2006 .
