Typhoon Ondoy really changed a lot of lives in the Philippines. He left a lot of garbage, mud, water that are still waist deep in some areas.
I never thought that I will experience being stranded in our house’s second floor for days, as we watch the flood waters rise. I am really surprised as everything happened so quickly that our efforts became nothing to save a lot of my parent’s merchandise. This was aside from the appliances and a lot of personal effects that would have been still useful today, if not for what happened almost two weeks ago.
We are still in the process of cleaning the house and exposing our wet goods during the day, hoping that the sun will make it dry. As for the rest, we have decided to throw those away instead of salvaging those items. I was hurt that I have to let go of a lot of things, but what I am thankful for is that my family is still intact. We are really thankful that the Lord gave us a chance to survive this calamity and appreciate more of His blessings.
How about you? Have you been hit by Typhoon Ondoy as well? How did you survive after the storm?
