Several houses were damaged after big waves caused by the trough of Tropical Storm #KristinePH hit Barangay Agusan in Cagayan de Oro evening on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.

Residents of Purok 3 Seaside fled their homes and stayed at the barangay covered court after seawater level rose and huge waves battered their houses.

Some of their belongings were also swept away.

"Naghigda-higda paman mi diri pag dagko na namakod mi kay nausdak naman ang salog kay nawala naman ang tuko dili nako maka panguha sa mga gamit kay ang salog nahugno naman,” one of the residents, Susima Antigua, said.
