    Sorry to ask the question but has this happened before on this scale or is this a rouge typhoon?

    It was not even a typhoon, "just" a tropical storm. I believe that this is one of the reasons why many people did not take it serious enough, as storms are not that special.

    However, things like that happen. many say that was the worst since "I-don't-know-when". Speaking of myself, in Feb 2009 my house was knee-deep under water, this time not, so for me personally 2 years ago was worse and I live in Batinguel an area with many homeless families now.

    Asawa ko just got the sad news that she has lost an uncle and who used to have a home in upper Valencia to this storm. At least life goes on for the rest.

    When the highway between Dumaguete and Bacong washed away a few years ago, it was raining for 3 days and 3 nights.
    Much worse than now.Also hypermart was under water.

    We drove that road (from Siaton to Lake Balanan) on Feb 10th 2012, and it was same as before, fine, undamaged.
