aries1234: CLAVERIA, Philippines — Typhoon Mangkhut, which meteorologists called the most powerful storm in the world this year, swept through the northern end of the Philippine island of Luzon, leaving at least 16 people dead and wreaking havoc. It uprooted trees, ripped off roofs, set off landslides and flooded farms and roads.
Yet amid the suffering, there was also relief that the situation was not much worse. The initial casualty toll was far lower than officials had feared in the days before the storm made landfall early Saturday on the Philippines’ largest and most populous island.
But it could be days or weeks before the storm’s true human toll is known. It will also take time to assess how much damage was done to the country’s prime agricultural region and to the economy. Damage to farms could be extensive — and costly for the nation. The region is the country’s largest food producer, and the destruction of crops could lead to food shortages, higher costs and inflation.

I've been keeping in touch with my housekeeper, making sure she and her family are safe, my home is in South Cebu, so just rain and some windy conditions, but nothing as bad as Yolanda. The real effect will come later as the farmers assess the damage to crops etc, North Luzon is the main area for Crops so that will be bad for exports and likely local pricing will increase.Thankfully most of the Philippines has been missed this time, but South China is taking a hammering, news on China TV is not good, several buildings damaged or even down and flooding all over the place.

Nice to know ur from South of Cebu.For sure local pricing will surely increase.Here in Baguio City where family lives we get used to rain but not as cruel as Yolanda.Our worst calamity we experienced was the 1990 Earyhquake where Baguio City was the epicenter.
