Mina and Irene
Aug 27th 2011greenbucksEnvironment & Me & Philippines
We are all home (except the hubby who needs to be at work today because of the 4-day now down to 3-day of no work and no school long weekend) all safe and dry.
The winds are so strong outside we didn’t let the dog out of her cage just in case debris will get flown in and she gets hit. I am worried about the two weather disturbances in the country: Mina (NANMADOL) and I-forgot-if-the-other-one has a name.
While we are being battered (by we I mean those in the extreme North of the country) the East Coast of the USA is also being all stormed by Irene, another girl name for another extreme weather condition.
As of this writing, news reports 6 people who have perished due to the typhoon. The Northern part of the country is where typhoons usually pass by. These people are very resilient and strong. They not only have to deal with extreme hot weather conditions during summer while they depend on water pumps to water their farms and get frustrated when their crops die because of extreme heat, they also deal with floods and torrential rains that destroy their crops during the monsoon season.
I will offer a prayer of protection for these kababayans of mine. I hope they will survive what these weather conditions bring to their places.
