Flash Flood in Cagayan de Oro

No words can describe exactly what I felt when I saw the water getting inside our house… For the first time, there was a flash flood in Cagayan de Oro. Shook everyone because never ever did this city, had flood problems, typhoon problems (buyag buyag) until that day (January 03, 2009).

For more than ten years mi na nagpuyo sa Tambo Macasandig, that was the first time na nabaha-an mi and it was not an exciting scene to see. It was scary, I tell you. Even if the water level was just on our waist, still the thought of “flood” scared everyone. Thoughts went through my mind at that time, like the thought of; when will the water will stop from getting into the house, perhaps in a split of seconds water will get higher by an inch, what if it will rain hard and so on…

…nevertheless, we thanked God for this day, for keeping us safe and everything!

Salamat sa mga nagtabang sa among barangay, sa naghatag sa mga pagkaon, banig, sinina og unsa pa diha. Salamat kaayo.

Salamat pud sa mga rafters na nagdala sa raft nila, gipanindigan gyud ninyu ang rafting dini sa Cagayan de Oro. *smiles*

…tungod ani na panghitabo, naka-bisaya ko ahat sa akong blog! hehe
