Many were surprised last Tuesday night June 28, 2011 when this flash flood caught the residents of 5 barangay's in Davao City and this death toll already climbed from 17 to 20 and now 25 and still many are missing. Most of the victims were children and teenagers due to unprepared calamity. Everybody were asleep when this heavy rain poured and flash flood attacked the said 5 barangays.
PAG-ASA stated that this natural calamity was due to the I.T.C.Z. which is moving towards Mindanao and they also warned the citizens that more heavy rains will pour in upcoming days. There's no problem with the drainage of the said barangay's but the main reason why having this flash flood is due to overflowing of Balusan River which led to flash flood.
I have a friend which is also victim of the said flood. She stated that you can't even pass through the bridges due to high level of flood. The last incident happened was way back 1995 and this year 2011 was the next flash flood happened in their barangay in Davao and now still can't believe that this flood affected 12,000 families.
She also caught some pictures after the flood.

Gensan is not that far from Davao City and because of that, the Generals are also encountering this heavy rain fall and with that together with this shocking news, everybody were alerted and prepared in case same incident will happen to some places located here in Mindanao.
As of now, our deep prayers are for those who are victims of the said flash flood. May God help them to survive the challenges which they're encountering at this moment.
