FLOODS IN CEBU, PHILIPPINES

If other countries were having some political issues that results to unnecessary wars, in the Philippines, it starts with a heavy rain with strong wind and then create storms in different parts of the country.

As I recall, last August 11, 2011, a PUJ driver was killed after a 100-year old acacia tree falls down due to heavy rain in Zapatera, Cebu City, Philippines.

And last August 20, 2011, another heavy rain strikes in Cebu, Philippines that results to Flood.

In Banilad, Cebu, Philippines, heavy rain flooded the street. Some vehicles, mostly motorcycles needs to slow down to prevent accidents.

Heavy  rain didn't affect some drivers. Some of them still recklessly droves and result to accidents. Along the way, I've seen two vehicular accidents. First was along the high way of Gov. M. Cuenco Ave., near ERUF. Second was in Cebu Business Park, Samar Loop St., in front of China Bank.

The video above shows that some homes were affected of flood. Waters came in to their houses. Some vehicles, most especially motorcycles didn't make it to cross the street and that needs to went back and find another route.

Heavy rain doesn't stop there. On the following day, August 21, 2011, another heavy rain with a strong wind strikes again in Cebu, Philippines.  I've heard that some parts of Cebu City suffered from flood. To confirm the news, I went to one of the places that was reported by flood, in front of University of San Carlos, talamban St. [ check video below ]

As you can see on the video above, drainage couldn't handle all the waters to pass through. Or might be some garbage just stock in the drainage that blocks that water and flooded on the street.

This flood blocked the street and prevent all the vehicles to pass. Some public vehicles need to went back and find another route and some were just stock on the flood and needs to wait until the water lowered down.
