The Wrath of Typhoon Basyang.


Holy smokes. No classes this day, and I'm surprised classes are again suspended for tomorrow. Typhoon Basyang has just hit our country, and man, did she really devastate this place.

That picture right there isn't an actual photo taken during Basyang's devastation. It was just a random picture found on image Google search. I figured that it is the most pleasant image of a bad and stormy weather. Haha, so yeah. I posted it.

Anyways. This typhoon is obviously the reason behind the suspension of classes on all levels in the Philippines right now. It is a wild phenomenon. Not as wild as Ondoy, but yeah. The similarity that these two wild typhoons have is that they both have a record of the number of people killed during the phenomena. Last night, I couldn't believe that I actually heard the loud noise produced by the wind that was blowin' sooooooo strong!!! With the accompaniment of the heavily-drizzling raindrops, the strong wind made its voice heard all over our place. Later that night, there was a blackout. This day when I woke up, the power was still out. And outside our house and of our subdivision, THERE WAS LIKE SOME CARNAGE EVERYWHERE. Trees were destroyed. Couple of the trees were split and divided, there were plenty of leaves scattered on the ground, some roofs from different houses got damaged too, having some part of them blown by the wind, street lights got broken, and just a whole lot of carnage to tell. Power got back at around 4pm, and we all tuned in to the news. All we heard about was the damage and disaster made by this typhoon. Gee, we just felt "the wrath of Bagyong Basyang". I'm just ever thankful that all we encountered was waking up this day, seeing our whole house wet with acid rain, and nothing else more. It was all intense. Whew!
