SENDONG
The storm, which struck Northern Mindanao, the Visayas,
and Palawan over the weekend, has now killed at least 957
people, the country's disaster management chief said Tuesday
morning.
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
(NDRRMC) Director Benito Ramos also said they have lost count of
the number of people who have gone missing following the
flashfloods spawned by the storm. A US National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) report December 15, a day before
the storm struck, said Sendong was carrying as much as 50
millimeters of rainwater, which is almost the same amount that
storm Ondoy was bringing in 2009.
