More flooding prompts evacuation of 3 barangays in Oroquieta City

Three barangays in Oroquieta City in Misamis Oriental were preemptively evacuated on Tuesday night as heavy rainfall, due to the trough of a low pressure area, threatened to cause more flooding in those areas. /PDI

A regional weather forecast issued at 6:15 p.m. raised a yellow rainfall warning over Misamis Occidental, particularly in Oroquieta City and the towns of Sapang Dalaga, Calamba, Plaridel, Lopez Jaena, Panaon, and Aloran.

A yellow warning means rain intensity could be from 7.8 million liters per square kilometer to 15.6 million liters per square kilometer. But even prior to the rainfall warning, Barangays Pines and San Vicente Alto had experienced renewed flooding, although with at a low level, due to incessant rainfall.

Towards midnight on Monday, flooding again hit Tudela town in Misamis Occidental. It was earlier swamped by waters on Christmas Day and the day after. An orange rainfall warning was raised in the towns of Don Victoriano, Bonifacio, Clarin, and Tudela, and the cities of Tangub and Ozamiz at that time.
