Hey there, folks! So, here is the deal - I just got the news about Tropical Storm Falcon hitting the Philippines, and I have to admit, I am feeling kinda worried considering it has been raining hard for week already. You know how it is with the rainy season and all that "habagat" stuff, right? PAGASA said we are going to get hit with occasional to monsoon rains over a large chunk of our country. Falcon is currently chilling around 1,395 km east of Central Luzon, packing winds of 65 kph (not to mention gusts of up to 80 kph), and moving west-northwest at 15 kph. Man, we better buckle up and be ready for whatever is coming our way.

So, get this - the "habagat" is making its grand entrance in Luzon and the Visayas, and it is all thanks to Falcon crashing the party. PAGASA is on it, and they say the storm is going to bring some heavy rain and strong winds all over the place. As of 3 a.m., Falcon is chilling around 1,395 km east of Central Luzon, flexing its muscles with winds of 65 kph and gustiness of up to 80 kph, while strolling west-northwest at 15 kph.

Now, do not get me wrong, rain can be pretty sweet. There is something soothing about hearing those raindrops tapping on your window and the fresh smell of wet earth. But hey, let us not forget that not everyone is going to be doing a happy rain dance here. Some folks out there, especially those in vulnerable communities with little protection, are in for a rough ride. Flooding might become the new pool party for them, and it is no joke. Health risks are lurking too, because stagnant water can bring a whole lot of nasty stuff.

And hold up, farmers will have a hard time too. Yeah, they got their eyes on the sky, praying for the right amount of rain for their crops. Too much, and it is a washout; too little, and it is a drought. Talk about walking on eggshells!

There are already reports of landslides and flooding in our city which is very alarming. Even the people in the city are not safe. Think of the poorly built buildings and the poor road planning that will eventually lead to flooding and disasters. Traffic jams will be the worst too.

As Tropical Storm Falcon makes its presence known, I just wanted to drop in and send you all a quick message. Stay safe out there! The rainy season can be a bit of a rollercoaster, and Falcon seems to be throwing some crazy weather our way.

Stay safe, stay dry, and let's ride out this storm together! We'll weather the rain and come out even stronger on the other side.

Here are some photos of the flood in our city last night.
