9 days before Christmas Typhoon Odette visited our small island and vanished almost 100% of houses to our entire City. December 16, 2021 Lapu Lapu City was encounter the most dangerous Typhoon. After 30 years past we encountered the same strong Typhoon that hits and make a lot of damages to our unfinished house, my relatives and brothers house not only to us but the whole city of lapu lapu. After the Typhoon i quickly take a hand to our property due to falling trees and damages our roof that cause flood inside our home. Picture showed above was my brothers house where i live before when i was not yet married.
As you can see all the trees around our house was crashed by the strong wind of Typhoon and it fall down right directly to our unfinished house, on the night where Typhoon attack our house was flooded with huge water that made our thing and bed getting wet. On the right side house it is my sister inlaws house which is totally out of roof and damages the entire second floor of their house. It is such a big disaster i have encountered to my whole life we are not finished everything yet but then again it was all brooked by the typhoon, what a big trials i had this year 2021 started of losing the life of my Father and Father inlaw, admitting my first son at the Hospital and now Typhoon Odette that vanishes our home.
With this trials and disaster i had i don't really know how to start again, but life doesn't stop this way i need to keep on moving challenges those trials i had right now as long as i live i will keep on pushing, moved forward and fight for the sake of my Son and Family. My first baby boy and my new family gave me strength to keep on fighting and never back down even how life difficulty is. I know that someday it will heal all the pain and trials that i had into my life.
Our city is now in state of calamity people are seeking for food, water, materials for their shelter, clothes, and lights. It is now the six days when the Typhoon falls in our city and still we don't have eclectricity connections no water lines no signal. I traveled 45 minutes going to Cebu City just to get some electricity and good signal just to share our situations here.
It's heartbreaking to see such damages. Hopefully people will be able to pick up the pieces and recover from these losses soon enough. Still have a wonderful Christmas nonetheless. :)
You are right friend..indeed slowly we can all fully recovered.🙏
