Super Typhoon Pablo hit the Philippines, particularly Mindanao and parts of the Visayas, some few days back and up to this time, it's still lashing Palawan. PAGASA and some international weather stations have done their duties of warning and providing information when, where the path of this typhoon will be. However, despite the warnings given before the arrival of PABLO still close to 70 unfortunate Filipinos more or less have been confirmed dead as a result. What do you think are the causes of this tragedy. You may post your guess and will be appreciated. Thank you.

Despite the warning for the typhoon, I guess some people still didn't want to leave their homes because they fear of losing their things. So sad that they have to prioritize their things over their own safety.

I guess it cannot be helped. We could all do the prevention tips and tricks but storms and other natural disasters are generally uncontrollable and unpredictable. Of course, we could have saved lives but never underestimate Mother Nature. She doesn't work in our laws and a law in her own. Let us pray that the storm will not claim more lives, livelihoods and otehr things precious to human life. We will recover but we need to pass the storm.

PABLO is now in Palawan. Bad thing is I really don't like typhoons for it will just stucking up people to their houses. Good thing is that Palawan is very lucky place that stood still whatever typhoons we encountered. It's always good to be in Palawan!
