The (Mis)Adventures of Superboink

In relation to my previous post regarding the PAG-ASA's Color Coded Warning Alerts , the PAG-ASA issued an update changing the color 'Green' warning into 'Orange'. The color warnings initially caused confusion because (1) the public didn't really know what they meant, (2) people were so used to storm signal numbers, they didn't see the significance right away of there color-coded alerts, and (3) color 'Green' is usually associated with something 'good' or 'go' or 'positive'. As a response to this growing confusion, the PAG-ASA issued a revision to their color-coded warning alerts, turning the 2nd alert (Green) into color Orange.

The weather's crazy! To think it's not even a typhoon --- just monsoon rains. Hay, I hope you are all okay.  This is another test of Pinoys' resilience. I am reposting this photo -- source included in it --- for everyone's information. This is a photo from the US Government released during a flooding in New Orleans.  I believe the same applies to us here in the Philippines to, so I've decided to re-post. You might find this helpful especially since a lot of places in and near the Metro are flooded right now. Take care everyone and God bless us all!

***These flood alerts have been revised. See this POST for details. We have been experiencing rains - heavy at that - for a week already. Mr. Sun where are you? I am currently on Twitter waiting for news updates (class suspension for the kiddo and work suspension, if there will ever be...) Metro Manila is currently (9PM August 6, 2012) under Red Alert... Wait, Red Alert what? Here's a photo and screep capture from Manolo Quezon's Tumblr account , regarding the 'Color-coded' Flood Alerts:
