Typhoon Pablo heading straight for Philippines

reply to post by The Great Day


I just finished talking with my fiancee this morning and she was telling me that everything was fine with her but no word from the province yet. She's from Iloilo originally and still has family there.

I really hate not being able to get decent info in an easy manner. She will always tell me everything is fine then send pics later with all the damage from the floods in her area.

All my best wishes to everyone in the storm path.

I think many lives where spared for this one due to the governments stressed urgency and mandatory evacuations.
Death toll thus far is a fraction of last years storm of lesser strength and size.

It just started raining here in Northern Luzon! So happy because the gardens needed rain real bad all around the mountains.

300 reported dead so far probably more to come

Most died in a mudslide in Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley.

MANILA (3rd Update, 6:55 p.m.) -- Typhoon "Pablo" (international name: Bopha) has killed nearly 300 people and left dozens more missing, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said Wednesday afternoon.

In its official and latest data, the agency confirmed that 274 people were reported dead while 339 others were injured. Of the total number of fatalities, only 18 have been identified.

About 82 of the fatalities were from Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, where a mudslide was reported on Tuesday in New Bataan town.

The 33 victims in the said town, who died due to drowning, remain unidentified.

My heart goes out to all you in the Philippines and those with families there.
