#ClimateDiary contemplating this image of a bride wading through flood water in church- a still from this Report on the aftermath of #Typhoon #Doksuri in the #Philippines.

This is not at all a comment on the actual people in the picture - i hope they had a good #wedding! - but taking it as a metaphor it’s made me think about human #Resilience and #Pluckiness but also about #BusinessAsUsual, no matter what. And the minutiae of what living with #ClimateChange entails

wabiwalden,

@NatureMC @pvonhellermannn Another reason for the severe #flood is #Supertyphoon #Doksuri strengthened the #SouthwestMonsoon (we call it #Habagat) which is wet air almost exactly on the #FullMoon when #tide is highest then immediately followed by #Khanun. It was #SevereRains for a week. The flood is indeed higher this time, we have to evacuate to the second floor of our house. The irony is, before the #typhoon, our problem was #watershortage due to the #ElNiño. #HighTide #Philippines
