Typhoon Bopha: Death Toll Tops 200 In Philippines; Scores Missing In Worst-Hit Areas (VIDEO) | |
JUST HERE User ID: 25610447  United States12/05/2012 02:28 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NEW BATAAN, Philippines — The death toll from a powerful typhoon in the southern Philippines climbed to more than 200 people Wednesday and officials feared many more bodies could be found as rescuers reach hard-hit areas that had been isolated by landslides, floods and downed communications. At least 151 people have died in the worst-hit province of Compostela Valley since Typhoon Bopha began lashing the region early Tuesday, including 66 villagers and soldiers who perished in a flash flood that swamped two emergency shelters and a military camp in New Bataan town, provincial spokeswoman Fe Maestre told The Associated Press. About 80 people survived the deluge in New Bataan with injuries, but an unspecified number of villagers remain missing. On Wednesday, the farming town of 45,000 people was a muddy wasteland of collapsed houses and columns of coconut and banana trees felled by Bopha's ferocious winds.

I can't even imagine and a emergency shelter where those thought they would be safe also. Thats so sad. They are in my prayers tonight. I find it strangly appauling how many people on this site are so enthralled when its hiting the States but when its somebody else or does not effect them they couldn't give too shits. Proof is how many hits this thread gets. More proof of why so many people think American's are selfish and whiney. Only exception being is the OP here. |

Now the care giving and rebuilding starts from the rest of us who were spared this time. I hope this is the last typhoon to hit for the year. The typhoon paths the past 2 years have ravaged areas which do not usually get hit that is why they are ill prepared. Please keep the prayers going. |

Our friggin politicians and congressmen have the power of the budget to help these areas but they are just helping their own pockets. Some are even flying to the USA to watch Pacquiao's fight, talk about screwed up priorities. |

That's why we as a people really have to rise above our crummy politics. If you are from manila, there will be a relief drive in UP this week. We can bring,pack and distribute relief goods. It's short term help but every little bit counts. |
