    People stranded on rooftops, reports are most of downtown is underwater. Gov. asked for choppers form Mactan, but military is resisting due to weather.

    I just came back from doing a recon of that area, the rivers are swollen but nowhere near a dangerous level. At the Balugo bridge the level is 10 feet lower than it was during Sendong, so no worries unless it rains a bunch up in the hills.

    Every year there is "some dead trying to cross", and some squatter huts washed away, even when there is no reason for it... Some just cannot learn from experience!
