Overstaying and slow-moving typhoon Ruby has been in the country since Friday. It’s made three landfalls already, and has already caused considerable wreckage across Visayas. Metro Manila is all hunkered down, preparing to bear the typhoon’s grunt today.

As such, we’re traversing the Internet, checking to see how damage Typhoon Ruby has caused the Philippines. This is what we’ve uncovered using the hashtag #RubyPH:
