Better Paranoid Than Sorry

Cagayan de Oro has really learned the value of heeding a warning due to a bitter memory Tropical Storm Sendong left last year that claimed over 1000 lives. Now that Signal #3 for Super Typhoon Pablo is up and even when it hardly ever rained (it has been just drizzling for about 3 hours), a lot chose to evacuate.  For those who couldn't afford staying in a hotel,  there are covered courts that are offered by the local government.   One of the designated evacuation centers is the covered court of  Barangay Macasandig, where my folks live. I took it upon myself to have photos of such so that my friends  working/living afar(abroad) would know  how things are going. These are the photos I took  at Barangay Macasandig, 10pm, Dec 3, 2012
