Quake stricken Negros Oriental is flooded due to heavy rains brought about by a Low Pressure Area. Barely a week has passed after the 6.9 quake that brought damage to various infrastructures and killed more than 40 people and now this awful weather. Mother Nature is really challenging the courage and determination of the Visayan folk.
Most of the residents who are already tired, hungry and restless due to continuous aftershocks and lack of basic needs are up again all night. This time they were trying their best to be alert if flood waters became too high for their safety. Some have eventually evacuated to safer grounds to avoid the rising flood waters.
But where can they find a safer place? If they go up to higher ground, the peril of landslides hangs over their heads but to stay at lower elevation means being flooded. Sometimes Mother Nature is a pain in the ass but I guess she's just giving us what we deserve. We did abuse her so much by cutting down trees, polluting our environment and wasting our natural resources. Maybe Mother Nature is just whipping our butts for being such a wayward brood.....
