My heart breaks seeing people who were devastated by typhoon Ulysses!
The sight of babies, old people being evacuated due to massive flooding brought me down! Could not but wish they would be fine and helped to recover after the storm devastated their homes and property.
It is all over; from north to south of the Philippines. Really saddening!

I saw some photos and I feel sad too. As if the calamities our country are suffering are not enough, there is the possibility that 4 more typhoons will be coming to the country.

@acelawrites OMG! Those are plenty. Every time I saw what my friends posted on Fb about the storm, it was in different names and so I was confused.

Very sad indeed. Time to redesign the urban center. Waterways could have been blocked.

Yes, zoning and land use laws should be strictly followed.

@acelawrites yes, government agency regulating land use and zoning were lax in the implementation.

Some government agencies did some rescue efforts; but still lacking.
