The wind sounded like a very mad lion. It was my first time hearing the wind could sounds like that, similar to a car or truck's engine forcibly trying to move but stucked up in mud.
We underestimated Odette. I don't really trust the Typhoon would hit that hard not until last night. My partner keep on telling me asking me if I have this and that to prepare yesterday morning. I just laugh at him in mind, thinking Odette won't be that strong.
The severe tropical storm with the international name "Rai" enters the Philippine's Area of Responsibility at 7PM on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. It was given the local name "Odette" as the country's 15th cyclone for 2021. PAG-ASA said Odette has a high chance to become a typhoon by December 15, 2021.
Who would have thought that Odette have left so much traumas in our hearts. Lucky I am that time because I am with someone, how about those families who were left with an infant and an elderly under the storm, those houses that built in made of just woods and coconut leaves. Those who live by the shore and from mountain peak, they can't also say its safe there, actually no where is 100% safe that time.

Shaking while I dial up my parent's phone numbers and devastated when what I'm only getting was from an answering machine, "cannot be reach". The phrase that almost broke my heart. But after few hours of trying, successfully I've reached my mother telling me, all of them is at one place in the house, gathered together. I felt relieve but the typhoon wasn't finish yet.
Her voice, was full of fear and worried. Her voice was about to cry but just holding it. She needed to be strong since me and my father are too far from them. My father got stranded on his workplace. I was too worried at first because yesterday morning he drove all the way to Oslob and thank God he got back before evening.
Hopefully Odette is the closing remarks of 2021's history of fears and traumas. In my 27 years of existence, I have never ever felt this kind of fear because of typhoon in addition to Covid 19. Odette has definitely marked a history in our year 2021. Too much, too breaking.
What we all felt is valid and normal. Let this serve as our lesson so that in the future, we will get more stronger and prepared. Prayers for everyone! Let's stay strong and move forward.We can do this!

The struggle of being surrounded by bodies of waters 🤧 How are you po dyan? Stay safe po! I've read several news that flood is tall as house na raw po.
May storm surge din ksi like 1 to 3 meters tall yung laki. Mas nakakatakot sguro ang tubig, anytime pwede kang lamunin. 😢😣 Hope you and your family are safe there @sellennee.
Hala, are the LGUs present po ba there? Hoping for your safety, guys.Do you have electricity po dyan to dial emergency numbers? + First aid, flashlights, foods, and clothes po in case the worst case scenario happens 😩
Luckily, there's only rain here po sa Luzon. But our Lola's on Samar, and connection was lost since morning pa :<<< Got an update po kanina sa kanila kanina, our lola refuse to left her home 🤧
Blackout since last night pa. I don't know when will it be back but I think it will take long pa to fix ksi maraming nasira napotol natumba na mga poste eh. Tubig is fine here pero sa ibang areas and city walang tubig. People are also panic buying sa mall now. Huhu magiging ok din ang lahat. Hope ur fam is safe! 🙏🙏
Let's pray for everyone
Yes babe. Stay calm and strong lang jod ta. LABAN CEBU 🙏💕
Labaaan kaayu
Here in Bicol, we only experienced heavy rains. Btw how are you? I hope you and your family are all safe.
All is fine now. I kept on calling my mama and papa earlier today to make sure they're safe and okay. So far last night was a nightmare. Not only rain but the strongest wind we ever felt here in Cebu. Thank you bdw, lets pray for everyone.
I bet those were some worrisome hours while you couldn't get in touch with your mother. I am glad you all made it through safely, now you can begin picking up the pieces. Did your roof do okay during the storm?
Our house at our province, where my mother was at during the storm was taken off. And now I no longer have contact from them. Its really worrying, and scary. At the moment our city and the province is having great scarcity of food, water and electricity. Oh God help. 😣😢🙏
I'll be keeping you all in my prayers. Stay strong.
