Coastal barangays in Atimonan bear brunt of big waves from Tisoy


Residents living in coastal barangays in Atimonan, Quezon faced the worst of Typhoon Tisoy as big waves slammed against their houses.

According to a Tuesday report by Jun Veneracion in 24 Oras, the residents of Barangay Angeles said that though they have faced strong storms in the past, the waves brought by Tisoy were the strngets they have experienced.

Several rooms being rented out by Ron Amores were destroyed by the waves. However,  Amores said the incident was just a part of life.

An evacuee named Milagros Leonor, meanwhile, was ready to return home in her worry over the state of her house by the mountain.

"Kaya nga po kami lumikas kagabi. Baka mag landslide nga. Eh, maigi naman na po ngayon," she said.

Strong winds also blew away portions of houses such as roofs in the streets.

Tisoy made landfall over Sorsogon at 11 p.m. on Monday. It made its fourth landfall over Naujan, Oriental Mindoro at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday. —Joahna Lei Casilao/LDF, GMA News
