To the uninitiated, that car did not flip over because of an earthquake, or an angry mob who overturned it. Typhoon Ondoy, with its deadly flash floods did that a typhoon which really sent millions of Filipinos into a state of disbelief and shock!
Now that the news is again informing us of the coming of a typhoon which has a similar strength as Typhoon Ondoy, I am getting once again, a feeling of dread, since experiencing another catastrophe similar to what happened last year, and with just barely a year to recover from it, is not something I am quite ready yet to experience again. Maybe after 20 years, but not this year!
Anyhow, we can't fight nature, and control it, so we have no choice but to be prepared again. If the rains do start this weekend, we'll observe the creek beside our house, since that placid creek, which I barely even noticed before, was the source of all the water that flooded the first floor of our house. I dread to imagine that it becomes pregnant again with that much water! Time to go to the grocery tomorrow to stock up on some basic things and try to get ready for the worst!
