Typhoon HAGUPIT

Thankyou Terra its a relief to know she's safe, she's such a lovely person x

She has bought canned foods and candles etc. x

Thank you Terra. Hope Junna will be ok, it's a terrifying spectacle. I had a pen friend in the Phillippines when I was at school. I was wondering about her last night when I saw the news.

Hi Karen ..
Thousands of people were evacuated to rescue centres. Not such a fierce typhoon as last year, but nevertheless, the footage on the TV news looks scary...
I hope your penfriend is safe.

Its always heartbreaking to watch news reports of a disaster whether caused by nature or manmade but since joining Goy and being in touch with people from all parts of the world it brings it home more and I'm thankful for living in a safe place .
Thankyou Terra for the update, pleased to hear Junna is safe, we can only hope and pray for their safety.....

Terra this was so thoughtful of you. It would be awful if the last disaster were to be repeated - its good to know that least Junna is prepared.

Hello Sue and Stera ..
Although any typhoon is a horrible experience, it is comforting to know that Hagupit is less severe than the 2014 typhoons ...

... and, also, the people of the Philippines were more organised this time and able to encourage many people to evacuate to rescue centres.

Thank goodness for that!

Hi Paul ... yes, last year's typhoon was called Haiyan, and struck in November, and the Philippines is still trying to recover from that disaster ...
.. so, yes, thank goodness Hagupit seems to be less intense.

That's a relief TT thanks for keeping us informed in this blog x

Hi Amy ... thank you ...
I knew that many members would be wondering if Junna was safe ... x

Hi Tt, that's good to know, thank you for keeping us informed, lets hope it soon passes, and doesn't cause much damage, Derek.

So Pleased to hear Junna is safe and sound and so kind of you Terra to keep in touch and for keeping us informed;0))

Thank you for letting us know about Junna, Terra: typically thoughtful of you.

Hi Derek and Carole ...
Junna is getting on to GoY now and then, but the TV news showed such dramatic pictures of the typhoon that I thought it best to reassure everyone :o)

Thank you Sheila ..
So many GoY members enjoy having Junna as a member here :o)

That was very reassuring to hear and thank you Terra for keeping in touch with Junna and passing on any news to us. We are a close group on here no matter how many miles lie between us.

This is very thoughtful of you Terra, we don't always appreciate how lucky we are here:-)

Junna: I'm glad that you and your family are safe.

Thanks goodness that Junna is safe. Thank you for letting us know Terra.

Also good to know they were well prepared with Rescue
Centres that could cope with hundreds of people.

Thanks for commenting, Chris, Ba, Paul, Klahanie and Diane ... yes, from the news reports there are plenty of places provided for temporary accommodation ... sports arenas, community halls etc.

Thanks for posting this blog TT. Junna and the people of the Philippines are in my thoughts and prayers xx

Thanks Hywel xxx

Hi Junna ..
Thank goodness that Hapupit wasn't as fierce as Typhoon Haiyan of November 2013.
Goyers are thinking of you and sending you and the Filipinos all good wishes. xxxxxxx

Thank you for the update TT. It is thoughtful of you to do that. I have pm'd Scottish. She has extended family in the area and I have been thinking and praying for both them and Junna. Junna did a lot to help the people who were in a bad way last time so I am very pleased she has been able to tell us that this disaster is not as bad this time. It is good news that Junna and her daughter are safe and coping well. We are fortunate to live in UK. The TV coverage did not say how well the country got over the last disaster before being hit again.

Thank you very much Scotsgran:-)

Hope you too is well and very fine :-)

Thank goodness you are all safe Junna, its difficult to imagine the conditions you put up with or how you can safeguard your homes against such happenings, we always say one cannot beat Mother Nature but have to live with what she throws at us, when I see what happens to others I am thankful for living here, I hope it stays calm now and that you all stay safe.....

Bless you Junna, hearing about your life makes us count our blessings. So glad you are now safe and well. Good luck with the cleaning!
