We Over Prepared to Be Safe

Thank you Lord for keeping all of us safe from the supertyphoon. It caused a lot of destruction for other areas, but with your provision and blessings we will rebuild.

We overprepared for the typhoon. We previously put sandbags around our doors. Sweetie also reinforced it with boards and additional sandbags to make sure our basement won't get flooded. We were scared that the sewer pipe would backflow to our backyard again. 

We went around the house to check for damage. Some plants were toppled over, but most were okay. I discovered St. Fialcre recently and have been praying to him for the success of our garden. Despite the strong wind gusts, everything was intact. 

I pray for the quick recovery of areas severely affected by the typhoons. If you have extra please donate to Angat Buhay.

God bless us all in this new week.

Weathering the Storm

The wind started howling as soon as I finished preparing our food. Miggy helped me and took care of cooking the sausages while I prepped the tapa for marinating. I was washing some dishes when a low howling sound came from the pocket garden. Typhoon Uwan was just around the corner.

I followed Miggy when he went to the front door to check the plants. The tall trees across us was swaying because of the wind. It wasn't as strong yet, the forecast is it will be stronger from 7pm onwards.

We've been preparing the past few days. I asked Sweetie to reinforce the sandbags in our backyard. After going through several typhoons that inundated our childhood homes, it's better to be over prepared. 

We've also been glued to watching and monitoring the news for weather updates. The typhoon's track has been changing, so it's better to be well informed.

Praying that the typhoon will not cause harm to anyone. Our kitties are warm and safe too.

Prepping for the Typhoon

We've been monitoring the news and weather reports the past few days to be updated about the coming typhoon. The typhoons that been hitting us is nastier now than before. We couldn't help but remember how previous typhoons like Ondoy hit us.

Last July an electric pole fell down a few meters from our place. There was no typhoon, just heavy rains which caused a tree to fall and bring down the electric pole. What that tells me is we need to be better prepared for anything.

We've almost completed our go bags. Just need to add clothes. documents + my extra maintenance meds and it should be ready. Mother nature doesn't select where she's hit, she just comes.

Of course, let's all pray that the typhoon would just miraculously dissipate.

Safe!

Thank you Lord for keeping us safe from the typhoon. I pray for my fellow countrymen severely affected by it. Please keep them safe and give them strength to recover from the disaster. Amen 🙏

#PepitoPH, Let's All Pray for Safety

I've been monitoring the news closely since the third typhoon that came in the past week, #PepitoPH, is now a supertyphoon. I saw some videos showing storm surges occurring even before the arrival of the typhoon. It looked really nasty. Warning has also been given for those in Metro Manila. We're currently at signal #2, so far no rain as of writing.

We've heeded the warnings and have prepared our home. We even moved some of the plants indoors. 

Let's all pray for safety. May God keep us all safe from this weather disturbance.
