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.
