#OnThisDay last year, I was in Talisay City, #Cebu with my family when Typhoon #OdettePH (Rai) hit the province and other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao, leaving a trail of death and devastation in its wake. Shared some of my experiences here: globalvoices.org/2022/01/14/typ…
I was visiting my parents and siblings in Talisay City, the suburban sprawl south of Cebu City, when Typhoon Rai struck on the eve of December 16. A power outage immediately ensued that night as strong winds felled trees and damaged homes in the neighborhood including our own.
The next days were spent cleaning up debris and clearing roads that had become impassable while securing food &necessities for our middle-class household. We got water from a neighbor's manual water pump and charged gadgets in commercial establishments with electric generators.

LOOK: Siargao Sports Complex Gymnasium. This was inaugurated recently. Take a look at it now.

“This is what the Siargao sports center/evacuation area looks like. They were evacuated into the sports center but the sports center collapsed during the storm.” — Jeaneth Tuason
WATCH: Evacuees inside the Siargao Sports Complex Gymnasium were holding on to a table so debris won’t hit them. “Many tourists are gone but the locals are left with nothing.”

This is how Siargao gym was before storm, arnd 12nn. Video above w/ table taken at 1:34pm.

Mike Tuason (evacuee): Our friend Francis got wounded from a piece of broken glass & had to pull it out as it was quite deep. Na first aid naman sa mainland Mindanao. @onenewsph @News5PH
