This morning, I walked straight to our backyard with a hot cup of brewed coffee. As usual, my son Shadow followed and was eager to inspect the area. Most of our plants and trees were broken down. Luckily, nothing happened to our abode. It was really a strong typhoon. The latest report that I read, it is approximately 59 people died in my city during Ompong typhoon. I felt bad for them and the main cause is landslides.

Wow, that's a terrible disaster! Thankfully, we don't have hurricanes but we have long, cold winters.

@Shavkat Yes, one should be prepared for our cold winter. If they don't like such weather then it might be better to go to a warmer place if they have a choice.

@1hopefulman I agree. I think if they really wanted to live there, then they should accept the situation. For me, I prefer to live in Canada than the USA.

I heard there were lots killed in that typhoon, very sorry for their families. We get batteries, water, and cut down trees that might fall.

We are always prepared typhoon or no typhoon by God's grace , we have stocked food, water, medicine, solar lighting, batteries and equipment, our 70s house has withstood hundreds of typhoons.
It's my scrap yard that freaks me out sometimes, I dont like things like scrap G.I sheets flying around and hitting something or someone so I keep them well secured and fastened, and double check even at night, yes pets are also my concern cause we cannot let them inside at the same time., trees is another one, we have a number of trees in our property that has not been pruned for quite sometime

I felt so sad for the victims and their families. Could it be the open -pit mining was one of causes; so with the absence of big trees to hold the soil, plus the over development in the area? So glad you were unaffected.
