Today, Dec. 22, 2017, Tropical Storm Vinta has brought heavy rains causing flash floods in my city of Cagayan de Oro and the surrounding provinces. The heavy rains brought water from the mountains to the rivers, making them overflow their banks.
The floods damaged properties, homes, businesses, and livestock. People had to be evacuated from their homes and they had to seek shelter in evacuation centers.
It was a damn less stronger repeat of severe Tropical Storm Washi, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Sendong, which was a late-season tropical cyclone that caused catastrophic damage in the Philippines in late 2011. Our older rented house during that time got flooded too.
But fortunately this time, our current rented home was on safer ground but my sister-in-law's family home wasn't so lucky . These are my brother's pics.
These are the other photos of the damages caused by the flood taken by my father.
..my uncle leaves in CDO,in Agora near the fish pond and our family here in Cebu keeps on calling him to check out if there safe and felt relieve after they call telling us theyre safe
..thank god everyone is safe sir @darthnava

grabe pala nagyari jan sa inyo sir,
sa samar at tacloban gaun din po, binaha din
dito nman sa Southern leyte parang ok lang siguro kasi hindi nman masyado malakas ulan dito at wala din patag na lugar,
ganyan talaga,
may mga pagsubok talaga na dapat maranasan
pero malalagpasan din yan sir
makita mo rin na may malasakit an bawat pilipino at magtututlungan,
magiging ok din lahat jan sir!
God is with us

Yeah the cold winds coming from the north just pushes the storms down the central and southern Philippines. So I hope no other storms will follow and people should just get ready for any eventualities like this calamity.
