Victims of Typhoon Ruby (International codename: Hagupit) in Dolores town in Eeastern Samar whose houses were completely destroyed still stay at an Elementary School four days after the typhoon made landfall with sustained winds of up to 241km per hour in the coastal town on December 6, 2014. Eighty percent of the more than 800 homes in Dolores were destroyed.
