After the turbulent storms, one of which is the most devastating... somehow, we have survived. Typhoon Winnie's wind wasn't that strong but the continuous rain killed hundreds of people. It's blamed on the rampant illegal logging on the ill-fated provinces. In my town, not much of a tragedy... just flood that is not really that dangerous plus power failures.
Super Typhoon Yoyong came after Typhoon Winnie left the country. Killed few more people but was not as devastating as Winnie. This storm just brought very strong winds and a few rainfall. It did caused panic on the Metro though, suspending every single offices and classes in the afternoon. To commute back home was a hassle, 2 hours waiting at the bus terminal, very long lines, few buses arrived, then 1 hour plus travel home caused by a few traffic.
The country's fight after the storms are not yet over. Lots of people are homeless, mourning on their fate. I am just somehow glad that i am on a safer and better status, all i can do now is just hope for the better welfare of the less-fortunate.
