Typhoon Chedeng didn't hit us Badly

That is good to hear Simply D. Although I had this observation, that when Pag-asa predicts a devastating typhoon that would come in our country it often would turn out not what we expect them to be. There were times when they raise the Signal to no.2 and it is so sunny and sometimes it rains so hard when it is only Signal no.1. Could it be that the instruments at Pag-asa are already obsolete to predict expected outcome of the typhoon or could it possibly be divine intervention?

Yes, prayers can move mountains. Prayers are the most powerful protection we can have in times of disaster plus our initiative to have early evacuation and preparedness for disaster. The government, thanks God, are now more prompt and strict in implementing rules and laws to save lives during disaster. Let us all use prayers as our shield of protection!

I agree, prayers are indeed very powerful. I'm glad that typhoon Chedeng didn't directly hit our country as was predicted. It just sideswiped our country and head off to the north. I hope most, if not all, typhoons would do the same. All we can really do is pray and keep the faith.

Im bicolano too and it was such a relief to know that my relatives were ok. I guess we all still have post ondoy trauma syndrome.

O you have answered another discussion where Professor had asked about typhoon. It did not hit badly. Thank God. Prayers are really powerful. Prayer and nature they have to help us together. have a good day.

Maybe another false alarm from our weather bureau huh? or maybe prayers really do wonders, anyway, I'm glad your place were spared of this catastrophe...Me, I will never forget typhoon ondoy...It was the worst I ever encountered so far.

Hi, simplyD. Here in Visayas, we're still on a tight watch because Typhoon Chedeng is bound to hit in Samar. Samar is Near to Cebu - which is where I live. Everyone here, though calmness is still with us, is also on alert. Buying groceries, candles and batteries for our flash lights and the rest for the emergencies. I even have a small pack already, with towels, jacket, extra clothes and underwear just in case we are asked to evacuate. Yes, I do believe prayers are powerful. It bridges our faith to God and as He listens - He with his love brings us to His comfort, protect us from harm and bless us with His grace. I do pray that this typhoon Chedeng will be out in our country because some say Chedeng is Ondoy's sibling and we all know how harsh Ondoy was. Let us continue to pray for our country's safety.

It's like there is no typhoon here in our province. Cheding was not as fierce as the previous typhoons. I am glad it didn't hit us badly. Goodbye Cheding!

Just now i responded to your discussion about this, glad to know it didn't come, well prayers have power, mass prayers are more powerful, but i don't agree it stopped the Typhoon from coming.. Thanks for sharing God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’.

I'm happy to hear that good news. Although we don't have any relatives in that area, it is better to pray for people who lives there. Summer is really over and we have to pray for everyone's safety specially in our country that is surrounded by seas. God bless our country.

Is Typhoon Chedeng done already? It didn't hit us here in Bislig City too! Yes indeed, prayers is the most powerful armor we can have! That's a good thing!

It does us really good to pray always for protection and divine intervention. I am glad that all is well in your province. I hope though that to those who are affected, their families are still intact and that God will abide by them in times of their afflictions. Blessed day!
