After the wrath of typhoon Glenda

July 16 was a terrible day here in Philippines due to typhoon Glenda that hit Metro Manila. The storm signal was raise from signal number 2 to signal number 3 on the evening of July 15. I woke up 2 in the morning because of the noise outside our house created by the strong wind and heavy rain. This is also the time that the power line was shut down in our area in Taguig to prevent further occurrence of accident. We are totally concealed into darkness but we are still fortunate that the storm landed during the day time rather than the night time because it might became worst if the latter happen.

To be honest I got scared about what happened because my mom and dad were not there in our side. They went to the province for a one month vacation. Being the eldest I need to assure the safety of my two younger siblings ages 19 and 17 years old. We were stuck there inside the house and stare from our living room's window scenes such as roof got taken off by a strong wind, branches of trees flying in the mid-air and falling to other houses. The growling noise of the wind is super scary that even my two younger cousins who are also in our house become panicky. We also experienced being fallen down by a large branch of a narra tree at the top of our roof from our nearby neighbor. Luckily it doesn't create a huge damage and doesn't cut our roof.

Here are the pictures that I've taken after the typhoon. If I remember it correctly it was 11 in the morning when a strong wind stopped. We exhale a sign of relief that after all what had happened we are still safe.

Look at that trees and shrubs that has been cut down my strong wind of typhoon Glenda

Clean up time after the storm strong wind subside. It also still drizzling at that moment but it is bearable.

We also experience flood due to the heavy rain and poor drainage system in our area. I hope our local municipality especially the baranggay officials will do something about this problem.

Fallen leaves and tiny branches of narra tree taken off from our roof during the cleaning up.

Look at that large branch of the narra tree struck in our roof!

I and my fellow neighborhood checking the guys doing cutting the branch of the narra tree at the top of the roof. Obviously we are chit-chatting something about the typhoon.

Our busy neighborhood busy cleaning up our area

This guy is busy cutting the large branch of the narra tree in they're roof and also 1/8 portion of our roof too.

Of course I have to call my mom and dad to report to them about what happened to us and to assure them of our safety. It's a mandatory thing to do! Haha.

Anyhow, I'll end this post about how blessed we are that none of us got hurt and thank God for keeping us safe! In times like this we have to look in the positive side rather than being problematic about simple things that was lost to us such as ceilings, roof, plywood and etc. LOL. If you know what I mean.
