    Sounds exciting to put this news on board…Well, that thunderstorm sounds scary it woke me up!:nailbiting: I was been hearing this trumpet sound up in the sky last week which was recorded on video that happened in Batangas near manila. I hope its not the end of the world yet…hehehheh:coldfeet::wink::wink:
    The generous rain did save my comatose plants, if we are on wet season month then I could save few thousand pesos from dying plants and endless watering mission.:drowning::drowning::drowning:
    This morning, I save several black bees from drowning the pool(about 50’s of them) and 1 earthworm on free diving.:drowning:
    Upcoming news will be sad, its about my mini farm down south that suffered a lot from draught.:dead::dead::depressed:

    Surge protectors are not designed for a lightning strike, best bet is to unplug the TV during a lighting storm. Does your place have a ground or is it just hot and neutral? They do make lightning arresters for cable/antenna TV. I've never used one but have installed more than I can count for fire alarm system antennas and have rarely seen them fail; plus they are super easy to install. I would check with Polaris first as a guess. I've seen some of the dish installs on houses and have not noticed a lightning arrester but your provider may be able to point you in the right direction.

    Tanjay was a bit of lightning, thunder and some rain; wind was not bad at all.

    Well we just had fil products around here but we're no use what so ever, I probably think our place is hot and neutral, I take it there must be a solution to this?
    Thanks for the info shawn.

    It looks like the rainy season has well and truly set in now as predicted, far better with cooler temps.
    Let's hope it lasts, that elnino effect made it pretty uncomfortable, and surprising how fast things green up after a few days rain!

    I lived in Bacolod for 4 years. We always got a lot of rain during the rainy season (usually started in mid June) ... Since I have now been here in Dumaguete for the last 6 weeks, I have seen very little rain compared to what we used to get in Bacolod.

    Is Dumaguete located in just a very dry area of the Philippines, or is this lack of rain abnormal for this area?
    __________________________

    BTW ... I also lived in Angeles City for about a year prior to moving to Bacolod. Angeles City got lots of daily rain during the rainy season I was there.

    I just can't figure out why Dumaguete is so dry during a period of time that it should be rainy heavy almost daily .... strange considering we are in the Philippines.

    A little less rain than other parts of the Philippines. Angeles and Subic get quite a bit more rainfall than Dumaguete.

    Friday, July 17 ... Hot as hell here in Dumaguete and not a cloud in the sky. Dry as a bone!

    Don't know what happened to this so-called "Rainy Season"?
