A Perfect Storm

Comment from a reader on Flooding and Landslides Are Invevitable: Exactly correct; then add the Spring Tide caused by the New or Full Moon and that the surrounding large hills around Olongapo and Subic cause an Orographic lift when an air mass, SW Monsoon, is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create heavy precipitation which drains to the bay straight through the city limits.
