Yesterday was the day the Supertyphoon finally hit land. At around 7pm last night it had made its first landfall on the northeast part of the island. Though its sides hit the southern coast of the island which i think created heavy rains there. I am still waiting for any news on the area were it really landed. Reports were that even before the syorm had landed they were already being hit with strong waves from the sea shores. There were reports in the southern province that visibility is almost zero because of the strong winds and rains.

I hope everyone was safe even if property was damaged.

As for my situation were pretty much safe since it didn’t hit us directly. I guess our location is safely tucked in in between mountains that is why storms rarely gi through us since we're protected by mountain ranges. But l don’t know yet what happened to places where the storm passed through. Maybe later today news will start to trickle in. The storm has crossed over and is now at sea again going northward to Taiwan but it has weakened after passing our mountainous areas.

It is awful when they make landfall at night. Here in Jamaica we were recently hit by Melissa - the strongest hurricane we have ever experienced. It made landfall from the South of the island.

That’s true. But the advantage on that are many that were able to prepare and evacuate during the day before the storm hit them. The coastal areas where the ones that prepared for this since they will be the first ones to get the wrath from the storm and the waves.

It has hit hard on those in the path of the typhoon. We are so far having good weather now so rehabilitation efforts are being done on the affected areas for now. So far no incoming typhoons in the coming days and good weather is expected.

@Tampa_girl7 hoping that there’s no more of that coming up this soon. Though we really need to have rainy days since were a small island and we need to store as much fresh water as we can to prepare us for the dry season. Such is life here in tropical island.

We saw massive waves on our news last night. It almost looked like another tsunami.

We were fortunate to be spared from the typhoon’s path, as its impact on the capital city could have resulted in catastrophic devastation, causing widespread destruction and severe consequences for infrastructure, homes, and lives.

@JudyEv That’s true, which is why relief efforts from both the government and private individuals are ongoing to help ease the pain of losing property. Eventually, people bounce back over time, as we’ve grown used to these kinds of disasters happening year after year. We are resilient, and as many say, when you visit, you’ll still see people smiling despite the destruction they’ve endured, managing to lift spirits and cheer those who come to see them.

@rsa101 It's hard to imagine how people recover from such an event if they lose virtually everything they own.

I guess for those the path of the typhoon devastation was inevitable. So far were ok for now that there’s no typhoon in sight for the coming days. Sun has shone already and i guess rehabilitation work in affected areas has started to restore back damaged structures.
