Getting personal with typhoons
Just want to send you to this post by Sonnie here, who recounted his personal experience with typhoon Milenyo.
Pictures paint a thousand words, but reading a personal account of how Milenyo affects our everyday life is something else.
It made me recount past typhoons growing up in Los Banos… how schools won’t be out until signal number 3 is right in our face, and then we have to walk the length of the university in torrential rains and soggy shoes because there’s really no more jeepney in sight…
… Another bad one was when three tropical storms congregated on the week of my wedding! Like most everywhere else, there was no electricity in Tagaytay, the roads were bad and foggy, and raining the whole week. Oh well… put that under the belt of experience, i.e., don’t even dare an outdoor wedding in July.
Care to share your typhoon story?

We got lucky, I guess. Power was out in our area for only around sixteen hours during Milenyo’s lashing. Despite the weather and the darkness, we found ourselves sitting together at our living room, telling each other stories, basically catching up on each other’s lives outside the family. Rarely does my family get together that way nowadays.
