TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte – Twenty people were injured and around 30 houses were damaged when a tornado struck Barangay Binaliw, Tinambacan District, in Calbayog City, Samar, early yesterday morning. Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer (CENRO) Marcialito G. Torres said he immediately mobilized his disaster reduction team to bring the victims to the barangay chapel where a medical team was deployed to treat them. “The tornado was similar to super-typhoon Yolanda that struck us last year,” said CENRO Torres in a text message. Torres said the victims were still asleep when the “baby tornado” struck their barangay at around 3 a.m. He said the victims are now staying in the barangay chapel and being assisted by the local government.
