Wow! Your words make me grateful for being able to experience the things we have here. It's a great way to appreciate travel posts, realizing that some of the things you see, you won't be able to see in real life.
Kansas always reminds me of The Wizard of Oz and the tornado. I think I won't be able to go there, but who knows.
Unfortunately, several more typhoons came after the one I mentioned in my post, and the country was badly hit. A dam in Northern Luzon had to be opened which caused a lot of destruction and death. A lot of people came together though to help the affected communities. Praying that the people and the government will be more prepared and faster to react to future disasters.
