  • A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt
    A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt Edition of 8/4/2011 243 A. D. An inundation of the sea in Lincolnshire laid under water many thousands of acres (Camden). 353 Flood in Cheshire in which 3000 people died along with thousands of cattle (Hayden). 402 Euxine Sea frozen over for 20 days (Hayden) 500 The Vandals from Poland held Western Africa, the Diocese of Africa, Visigoth (Western Goth) from Scandia held Spain, Ostrogoth (Eastern Goth) from Scandia held Italy, Germanic-Franks from Scandia held Gaul, Burgundians held Rhone river, and Celts, Germanic-Anglo-Saxon held the diocese of England. The massive migration of the Mongols, the Huns, Goth, Slav-Bulgars, and Avars westward is because of adverse weather conditions driving them from their lands . The Germanic-Danes inhabited the Danish Islands, Schonen, and later Jutland. St. Brendan (521-527) in his voyage to the northwest suggests the Celts of Ireland discovered America about this time. The Polynesian reached Hawaii and established agricultural settlements. These people had traveled 2500 miles from Island to Island. It is inconceivable that these peoples didn't reach America in the past 500 years. The Polynesians colonized Hawaii, Easter Island, and Madagascar by 500 A.D. 507 Men from Tsinngan, China report being blown across the Great Sea East to a people who speak a strange language. 508 In England, the rivers were frozen for more than two months (including Thames?). Possible severe winter. Rivers frozen for two months. Years also quoted as 507 or 509. 514 St. Brendan (484-577) of Ireland explored the area discovering the Hebrides, Orkney, Faeroe Islands and Iceland, starting about this time.

  • FACT SHEET Municipality of Calabanga, Camarines Sur | Date Last Updated: 10 October 2014
    FACT SHEET Municipality of Calabanga, Camarines Sur | Date last updated: 10 October 2014 QUICK FIGURES No. of barangays: 48 Population: 78, 845 Male: 40,556 Female: 38, 260 No. of households: 14,601 Income classification: 1st class 1. Brief historical background Founded as a small barangay by Spanish missionaries in 1578, the Spanish Military Government converted it into a full-fledged municipality on July 15, 1749, the date when it was separated from Quipayo as a political unit. At its founding, Calabanga had vast forests and swamps and an abundance of wildlife such as monkeys, wild chickens and forest lizards. Some say Calabanga derived its name from the Bicol word “Calabangan”, the plural term of “labang” or “litag”, a kind of snare for catching wild animals. Another legend says that Calabanga originated from the word “Calagbangan” meaning the wide, long and straight street spanning from the church through the poblacion, east to west, called locally as “Calabaan” or “Calacbangan”. 2. Climate and Landscape Climate: Calabanga’s climate is characterized by the absence of dry and wet season with a very pronounced rainfall from November to January. o Rainfall occurs throughout the year. However, low rainfall rates are observed during the months of April and May. o Higher rate of rainfall occurs from June to March. Northern Monsoon Winds (Amihan) prevail in the area from September to January while the strong South Monsoon (Habagat) mostly occurs in August. o Typhoons usually occur from September to January. Landscape: Calabanga is situated downstream in the Bicol River basin, where the main stream, Bicol River drains into the San Miguel bay.
