The CK Daily – Strength in the Storm
Hello everyone, it’s midweek again! I hope you’re making good progress on your weekly tasks.
Last week, a typhoon caused significant devastation in the Philippines, especially in the Visayas region. Watching news reports and videos online brought me to tears. People and animals were affected, homes were buried in thick mud, and many lives were lost. I cannot imagine what it would be like to survive in that situation.
A few days later, a new and stronger typhoon formed, and unfortunately, it was forecasted to pass through my area in Quezon Province. We prepared as best we could, stocking up on food and water, securing loose objects, and building a stronger pen for my dad’s chickens. With limited space, we could not bring everything inside, so we made room for relatives who would be staying with us during the storm.
Before the typhoon, the weather was calm and sunny. Then, the winds picked up, and trees began to sway violently. Power and phone signals went out, and we had to wait it out. Even two days later, electricity was not fully restored. People lined up at water refilling stations and stores with generators just to get clean water or charge their phones. Hotels were fully booked, some areas flooded, and coastal regions were littered with debris from the ocean. Thankfully, the damage in our area was limited, and there were no casualties.
As someone living in the community, I hope these disasters remind everyone, including government authorities, of the importance of flood control and disaster preparedness. Even facing these monstrous storms, we are grateful to God for keeping us safe, for the air we breathe, food on the table, and the love of family.
