With the continuous rains, Pagasa noted 147.6 millimeters of rainfall in Borongan City, Eastern Samar, 108.4 millimeters in Juban, Sorsogon, 82 millimeters in Surigao City, Surigao del Norte, 81 millimeters in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, and 75.8 millimeters in Catbalogan City, Samar.

“Saturated na ang kalupaan sa mga nasabing lugar, madaming tubig ulan ang na-absorb ng [kalupaan] at nagbibigay daan ito sa mataas na tsansa sa pagbaha o pagguho ng lupa or landslides dahil sa malambot na ang kalupaan sa mga nasabing lugar,” said Pagasa weather forecast Rhea Torres.
