The rain began yesterday evening, took a brief break in the morning, and has continued to fall until now. My neighboring community has been evacuated for the past two days due to flash flooding. Even Typhoon Noru will hit us early tomorrow morning, but it will no longer be a typhoon but a depression. Some areas, including my neighbors, are completely flooded due to months of rain and accumulation of water from rainstorms. I am still fortunate in that I was not severely affected or damaged by the flooding. When I went out to check on my property this morning, I discovered that some of the shallow flooded areas were now covered with the bright yellow flower of the Water Mimosa. In this dark and gloomy day, the yellow flower of the Water Mimosa really stands out.
