THE BIG FLOOD IN GINGOOG CITY

-







The fateful days from January 3 up to January 14, marks a wet entrance to the year 2009. The photos show the fury of an angry nature.

The last big destructive flood was reportedly in 1979. They say there is a pattern and Gingoognons should expect this in a 30 year gap.

Others say logging activities still on going is the main culprit. Force majeure or man made. ALl Gingoognons should be aware always of the tell tale signs, especially if the rains has been pouring for several days.
