Cebu Philippines, an entire neighborhood is swept away. On November 4th, floods from typhoon Kalmaegi tore through makeshift houses and left a trail of destruction. As the Philippines tries to pick itself back up, the death toll has climbed past 100. 

A man says, when I returned here I saw all the houses were flooded. Everything was gone. It was too high. It became a sea. All the houses were swept away.

Man: rebuilding this will take time because I do not have a budget yet. I don't even have money for food. I felt bad because our house was gone. We were not able to save anything. The flood took everything,  even our rice, everything.
