Nobody anticipate how bad it was gonna get, but I have trouble accepting the excuse that they didn't understand what a storm surge was, so they weren't prepared.
- if they didn't understand what it was, they(LGUs) should have sought clarification, then explained it to the people in terms they can understand, not just brush it off as some meaningless jargon.
- i just googled what a storm surge is, took me less than a minute. (Wikipedia: A storm surge is an offshore rise of water associated with a low pressure weather system, typically tropical cyclones and strong extratropical cyclones.)

- we've known for days that this was a big storm. We didn't need for CNN to call it a CAT5 storm. Winds of up to 230-250kph, hitting some provinces that are surrounded by water on all sides, no natural structure to break the windforce? It's not the first time we've had a typhoon with 230-250kph winds btw.
