Calamities & Disaster

 Would you believe Philippines had another devastating typhoon that brought torrential heavy rains and deadly floods in northern Luzon. Once again too many dwellings were affected and destroyed by floods over 10 ft. high. Some of the people had to stay on top of their homes, on the roof to save themselves from being swept away.

I know, those typhoons in the past were just as horrible as it is. The typhoon Yoling as far as I remembered many years ago was horrendous deadly that wiped out the rice granary of Luzon. Too many houses destroyed within a glance. Death toll keep rising, floating dead bodies on the river. Some bodies were decapitated and headless when galvanized iron hit them. Signal number 4 typhoon was the highest signal ever and its either you evacuate to the higher lands or stay in concrete buildings with sturdy cemented foundation. Wooden or bamboo dwellings were the unsafest place to stay. 

What happened in mainland Vancouver was also unforgiven when heavy rains caused rushing flood waters downstream causing mudslides had houses swept away downhill towards the river stream. You think that wont happen in urban community but it did happen.

Nowhere is safe anymore. Urban or rural community... just that the power of Mother Nature is overwhelming. 🙏Continue to pray and be safe! Take care and beware, watch on guard.
