But the main problem is heavy rains.

there is light wind and heavy rain on and off right now, but it is going to get worse tonite. Hopefully the wind won't be strong enough to rip off the roof or destroy the rice crop.
Our house is on high ground so we should be okay with flooding. But we are downstream from the mountains so that water will be going through tonite and tomorrow which puts pressure on the irrigation dams. If they open the irrigation dam gate and increase the water in the nearby river we could flood.
We have a second floor and the business offices are up there with the computers etc. but if it is too high the cars could flood. Last time this happened, we have six inches of water in our first floor...we opened the gate to the meeting hall so our neighbors could put their cars there, about 18 inches higher than street level, so the engines were safe from being flooded.
So a mess but not dangerous for us. However, the poorer neighborhoods near the river might have to be evacuated: most will go to friends or relatives but the city Gym, down the street near us, is the formal evaculation center.
The maid asked for extra money to get in extra food just in case. And we sent extra money to the cook's family in the Visayas to repair their house after the earthquake.
Sigh.
