ALMIGHTY GOD, please protect us all from this very destructive typhoon.
I am not trying to scare myself watching all these videos posted by many citizens in the Bicol province where typhoon signal #5 is hoisted right now. It was classified as super typhoon.
Typhoon Rolly is truly devastating and scary. Metro Manila and Rizal where we live are under typhoon signal #4. There are so many provinces under this signal and the rest are under Signal #3 and 2. We can’t dispute the fact that this typhoon is destructive bringing more rains and winds. I am scared. Don’t know what to do except pray. Trees were uprooted and some roofs were destroyed in the Bicol area where the eye of the typhoon is right now. It is raining now here and the weather bureau said the typhoon will pass by Metro Manila and nearby provinces late this afternoon. We still have power, thank God. I don’t know what to do, whether to pack up a few things in case our place gets flooded and raise our belongings to a higher level. We only have two steps higher in our bedrooms from the sala and dining rooms and the rest of the house which are, maybe a foot higher from the streets.
I am requesting for prayers from all of you. May we all be safe from this calamity.
I’m praying for you, Arlene. Please let us know how you are when you can.

We are okay Anne. The rain has stopped and the typhoon veered a little from its original path. Thanks.

Don’t worry, it looks like it’s more windy than rainy! The cord holding my bougainvillea to the fence broke loose that now part of the shrub has fallen to the ground. There will be a lot to do after the storm has passed!

I hope you’ve been safe, Arlene. I do know what it’s like to be afraid and know that all you can do is pray. That’s what I did Wednesday night when Hurricane Zeta came through here. Very large trees blew down behind my house and by the neighbor’s house, but they fell away from the houses. We all had been praying and are blessed that our homes still stand. I pray that you were not flooded and have remained safe.

Thank God for all those prayers. We were spared from the wrath of the typhoon Deb. It changed its course on the 3rd and 4th landfall. that was quite scary. We had winds too and rains but they were weak and minimal. Thanks again for thinking and praying for us.
