September 26, 2009, Many lives were shattered by a storm that took them by surprise. The Philippines has experienced many types of storms but this by far was one of the most tragic. Although not the whole country was flo
oded, Typhoon 'Ondoy' still affected everyone. With many cars and houses destroyed and submerged underwater, thousands of filipino citizens were left HOMELESS and INJURED. Many were missing and is still missing to this day. And plenty of damages were done. Typhoon 'Ondoy' has truly destroyed many lives. On September 29th the differences of the country did not matter, Typhoon 'Ondoy' did not choose its victims, rich or poor lives were affected.
What was amazing in this state of calamity was people were helping each other. There were cases where families were stuck on the rooftops because their houses has already been submerged underwater and the only thing left to do was climb to the roof of the house asking for help. When i was watching all this on the news at home on the filipino channel i was heartbroken. Seeing your home country be destroyed by a vicious storm is really heartbreaking. For those of us who can’t go there and help them, all we have to do is pray for those who lost everything and have to start all over again. There are people who are grieving for missing their loved ones. It’s just so painful to see families torn apart.
