The dams are full and Manila under water
The dams in Luzon are full, very full, overflowing.
The La Mesa Dam in Quezon City has been placed on red alert status Tuesday morning. Meanwhile the water level has gone up from 79.35 to 79.65. High water level is at 80.15. (All levels are in meters.)

Below you find a table of all dam water-levels. Aside the La Mesa dam, the IPO dam is very critical.
And water continues to pour down on Central Luzon and Manila.
Be careful:
– In Metro Manila traffic can stall at any time
– In Central Luzon roads may be interrupted by landslides
– Try to find a bed away from landslide prone zones and do not cross rivers if you do not need.
Tourists advice: If you need to catch a flight, go to the city of departure a day ahead. Otherwise you might not be at the airport in time.
