Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City
Mabagal lang ang ulan, but it turned out na malakas pala ang ulan sa upland (Bukidnon). When we woke up. The water has risen and the current was so strong. It also took some time for some people to decide to evacuate. They waited until they saw 7 houses floating in the river. Trees have been uprooted even several Bamboo clumps. We saw 7 cows and a mother and daughter clinging to there dear life on a banana trunk. The mother and daughter were rescued downstream.
We were not actually hit by the flood only the houses that were below us. Our place because a staging point for rescue and lalagyan nang mga gamit. Noodle were also cook here for the displace residents. Also the relief goods were distributed in our gate. The relief goods medyo magulo ang distribution. Even houses that were not affected by the floods kaka kuha din. As usual noodles and rice.
Buti na lang it stopped raining today.
grabe
