Death toll in the Philippines rises to 114 with 127 missing; most casualties in Cebu where flash flooding caused drownings, while the region remains affected by a recent earthquake. In Vietnam, torrential rains caused flooding in several provinces and a death toll of 35.
Almost 10 regions, around 10 to 12 regions, will be affected. So if that many areas are involved, with that kind of scope, then it's a national calamity.
The challenge now is debris clearing ... These need to be cleared immediately, not only to account for the missing who may be among the debris or may have reached safe areas but also to allow relief operations to move forward.
We did everything we can for the typhoon but, you know, there are really some unexpected things like flash floods.
There was nothing we could do, the wind was strong and we could hear debris flying and hitting our roof.
Almost all the rivers here in Cebu overflowed. Even emergency responders did not expect this kind of scenario.
This is the worst flood I've ever experienced.
We are tired of floodings, but what can we do.
