A flashflood, caused by the tropical storm Auring, resulted to one death and one missing. Evaresto Ramos, 76, died while his 5-yr old grandson, Harold still remains missing. Their house was washed out by the flashflood in the coastal town of Clarin last Wednesday. The New Year’s eve disaster awoke residents of Clarin town. They were surprised to see a flooded neighborhood.
The flashflood, brought about by 11 hours of pounding rains, hit at least seven barangays in the towns of Clarin and Tubigon where at least 250 families were displaced by the flooding.
Evaristo Ramos, 76, drowned when his house made of light materials collapsed as a result of 2-meter deep floodwaters coming from a nearby swollen river while his grandson Harold Ramos, 6, is still missing.
