It hit us around 2pm on December 17, 2021. Strong gusts caused massive damage. People had to endure 4 and a half hours of wind and rain gusting in all directions. When light came the next day, only then were we able to see the extent of devastation.
People from Surigao have to go out of the Province to get some network connection. We will go off grid when we get back to Surigao and until networks are back. Any help will do and is very much appreciated. JCI Members are also affected. As much as we want to spearhead to help our very own community, it is difficult at this very moment. We will bounce back better and stronger. Pag lig-on Surigao, Siargao, Bucas Grande, og Dinagat! Tindog Surigao, Siargao, Bucas Grande, og Dinagat! Let us all be Nickel Strong!
