Severe Tropical Storm Kristine dumped more rain in Albay than Typhoon Reming, the deadly storm that hit the country in 2006 and impacted the Bicol Region in particular, according to an Albay Public Safety Emergency Management officer.Citing data from PAGASA, Dr. Cedric Daep, APSEMO consultant on risk reduction management, said Kristine's rainfall could be "groundbreaking."“Umabot ng unprecedented rainfall of 500 millimeters.
The heavy rainfall from Reming triggered mudslides from Mayon Volcano that buried whole villages, killing hundreds of people in December 2006.Daep said aside from the heavy rainfall, Albay is flooded because the river system cannot hold the water from the watershed anymore.He also reported that lahar flow affected the provinces.“Maraming lahar, buti hindi na nag overflow para maputol yung kalsada from second to first district,” Daep said.
