After seeing the clean-up and sand bagging being done at the Baywalk, I wanted to see how much work they were able to finish in time for the new typhoon, Quiel. The trucks are gone, but the work is obviously not finished. There are neat piles of the bricks used to line the Baywalk, ready to be laid out in the next sunny day. However, the sand bagging was done neatly and as best they could do in the time before the next storm.
The Manila Bay “residents” are still there, even with the storm approaching. There were at least three shelters we saw along the Baywalk. I could only take one picture of it, as the sun had already set and it was getting dark.
The best thing I saw was some men fishing in the twilight. Even in the middle of a typhoon, people get hungry. And they find ways to eat.
Today’s catch.
Fishing in a storm.
A resident’s shelter from the storm.
A close-up shot of waves and the broken break wall.
In areas where the break wall was too unstable to sandbag, they were placed a few meters away from the wall to stop the water.
Some bricks piled up. There’s a semblance of order, considering they only had two days to get everything ready for Typhoon Quiel.
Ready to seat those who would like to watch the storm.
The stone spheres have been place as close to their original positions as possible.
Bricks arranged and ready to be used, after the storm. They used to line the area of the Baywalk that was torn up by Typhoon Pedring.
A news truck ready for the evening reporting.
Waves smashing against the sandbags.
The hole I took a picture of in my last post on Typhoon Pedring. Here you it see filled, but the strength of the waves have dislodged some of the sand bags.
