Hello everyone.
I bet you have heard about how Tropical Storm Sendong (International Name "Washi") destroyed my hometown, Iligan City with all the news on TV and online. It's quite a shock for us Iliganons to experience such tragedy since it's the first time in history for a storm to pass by our city. My people did not expect that the strong winds and heavy rains brought by Sendong could result to swollen rivers and flash floods. It was because Mindanao was nowhere near the typhoon belt. Many died, including helpless babies. It's just heartbreaking. (Separate blog post on the Sendong's blowoff in Iligan here.)
