Hurricanes-Mt Mayon killed 1000 !!!
On December 15th 2006 a devastating hurricane hit the central parts of Philippines. It was not the first or the last natural disaster as the Philippinos are used to living under the continual threat of hurricanes. It has become their way of life pulling themselves together and trying to go on with the remains of the catastrophe. Very often the damage is very extensive and at times they have to start from scratch since there is nothing left. It has become their life's great complaint towards Mother Nature. It's the high toll they have to pay for the extraordinary beauty of their homeland. I had a sinking feeling at the sight of houses razed flat and uprooted trees laying dead in Bicol, the region which sustained the highest rate of casualties. It was more than 1000 souls, as I read in the newspapers, that the ruthless typhoon Durian took away and many more were left homeless...Many people...
