Raging Egay: The Super Typhoon That Taught Me

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Good afternoon, amazing people!

Two days ago (Tuesday afternoon), a super typhoon named Egay with the international name Doksuri landed in the Philippines and hit the northern part, which includes where I live. In the Philippines, when you say super typhoon, it's a cyclone with a most extreme breeze speed surpassing 185 kph, or in excess of 100 bunches. That is serious areas of strength and really could blow vehicles, houses, buildings, and could kill individuals instantly. When I felt the breeze coming towards us, I started panicking. I realize I shouldn't be, yet typhoons give me uneasiness and too much anxiety. I have encountered a ton of horrendous typhoons since I was young, and it's tramatizing.

Here in our area, the river flow and the roads are flooded. The wind was whisling like crazy, and I heard my neighbor's rooftop fly away the first hour the typhoon landed. I was stressed our rooftop would be blown away as well, but thank God, it didn't. Despite the fact that we were flodded a little inside our home, our overhangs were obliterated, a couple of trees fell, and the power went off for a day, I'm as yet thankful that my daughter and I are safe. I count myself favored each day I awaken and have one more opportunity at getting life right. That taught me to pay more attention to the little things and take nothing for granted.

Today, the typhoon is leaving the Philippines, however the downpour still continues. I'm okay with that, as long as the wind calms down a little. I believe it's getting there. To every one of my friends who are affected by typhoon Egay and everybody out there, please stay safe!

Here's a short video of the typhoon I took as soon as it landed the other day.
