Fragments of a Rainy Season...

When it rains in Manila it drizzles in Davao. Rainy season has started in the Philippines which means we often have heavy rainfalls around nightfall. Fortunately Mindanao is situated just outside the typhone belt so the storms are modest compared to the North of the country. Typhone Frank struck Luzon this week and we might be getting the tail of this 'bagio' somewhere between tonight and tomorrow morning. It seldom rains for hours on end here, but when it does the streets are flooded and people can have a hard time getting to work or getting home at the end of the day. And of course there is always damage to the houses that are built on low ground. Hope we get of easy with some 'taliksik' (drizzle).
