On Sept. 26, the Philippine capital Manila and its neighboring provinces suffered one of nature's worst beating. Typhoon Ondoy, international code name Ketsana, poured more than a month's worth of rain in six hours, submerging most parts of the bustling metropolis, drowning at least a hundred people as of press time. My prayers to the victims, and may we emerge victorious and live by the lessons of this tragedy. Video/Photos by Reuters | Music: "Heaven On Earth" by Nicole Pasternak

Typhoon Ondoy pictures below. Typoon Ondoy flooded the Philippines and left paths of destruction with record-breaking rainfall that left most of the country in ruins.

The Ondoy rainfall dealt an equivalent of one months rain. In the Typhoon Ondoy flood pictures, many vehicles were left wrecked or turned over in streets and garages. Others were forced to evacuate their homes or climb atop their rooftops due to Ondoy and the destruction the flood caused.



As a result of the Ondoy destruction, classes have been suspended in all levels until Tuesday in Metro Manila and Rizal. This applies to both private and public schools.

Aside from Metro Manila, the following provinces have been declared as being under a state of calamity: Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet, Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Viscaya, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, Bataan, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Mindoro Oriental and Occidental, Marinduque, Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.
