typhoon Pedring!

It seems like that Pedring is stronger than Ondoy. I am praying for everyone in Luzon especially to my relatives. Hope Pedring will leave soon.

Typhoon Pedring has left the country but has left so much damages in many parts of the country. I thank God we were not one of those who suffered that much. The storm was just mildly felt in our place. But just the same, I kept on praying because I know that in other provinces, the storm was really hitting hard. I think whether in time of storms or not we should not forget to pray and ask God to save us from calamities like this. God is the master of storm and He alone has the power to calm any storm that may come our way.

It was a mistake to go to the office because when I got here, I found out that work has been suspended. I should have just stayed home with my two daughters and slept through the day. I am watching teleradyo right now and there have been a lot of reports about mass evacuations in flood stricken areas like Marikina and San Mateo. Pedring is strong when it comes to maximum sustained winds but the amount of rain it brought is not as strong as Ondoy. However, because of the strong winds, there have been massive brownouts all over the metro. Our place had no electricity since this morning and we have no idea when the power will return. I just hope it returns soon because my daughters are afraid of the dark and I don't think they can sleep later without the lights. Right now, I am praying for the safety of the people who are experiencing Pedring and I hope Pedring leaves our country soon.

Pedring was quite a strong typhoon the good thing about it is that it didn't have the kind of rain that Ondoy has if not the destruction could have been worse. I have a friend in Cebu and I heard that there's still sun shine out there and they were a little bit sad when I informed them we can go home early while they work all day.

oh it has passed as now, but I think they are looking at two more problems, one is a tropical depression and another is a low pressure area and might again develop into another storm and might hit us again, let's all pray it does not, cause we are still recovering from this one.

This weather is killing us it's already 324 am here in tayuman area and it's still pissing rain outside and the wind is still whistling hard and I can still hear roofs flapping up and down this is bad for the others whom doesnt have decent homes, last time when ondoy hit I was a volunteer and I could just imagine the how tragic it was for the people all soaked in water and trying to cook there relief goods with wood I hope this blows over for our countrymen...

Hi igatiful_badass! Well typhoon Pedring indeed passed into our country with much devastation. The strong winds he brought to the country have caused storm surges that damage a lot of houses and property. He left also many cities and barangays submerged in water, forcing most of the residents to temporarily stay at evacuation center. It seems that the power of typhoons that coming to us have changed lately, where most of the people residing in coastal area have said that they have never experienced such storm surges in their life before. Pag-asa have already sighted 2 new upcoming typhoons, hope and pray that these would not bring such devastation and damages to our country. Have a nice day!

Hi! According to the news, there are lots of casualties already since yesterday especially in Manila. The roads were flooded. Roxas boulevard was flooded. The brick wall in Manila Bay was destroyed. Sofitel Hotel was flooded and they had to evacuate their visitors. The flood damaged the cars parked in the hotel. Even the hospital was flooded and they announced yesterday that they could not accept patients for operation (I'm not sure now if they're back to normal already). Not only buildings and structures were the casualties, there were also reported deaths and missing people. Towns were flooded such as the CAMANAVA area (Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela). Typhoon Pedring was really terrible. I am just thankful that there were not much damage here in our town. I pity those victims. We should pray for them.

I have a friend last night who gave me a call because the heavy wind has scared her and she was very afraid that Pedring might be Ondoy's lil brother. But I told her to calm down because panicking won't help. I am also very updated with Pedring's visit here in the Philippines. Though I am across the seas (I'm from the Visayas), I still fear for the people in NCR - not because I have friends there or relatives but above all, mainly because of what happened to the victims of Ondoy and hpw it has wrecked our country. Every storm will serve as a reminder that we should take care of nature. Because once we take them for granted, we're the ones who will be sorry.

I am in Baguio right now and the wind is so strong. The rain, not that much but if you combine the rain and wind, it is definitely powerful. It may seem insensitive to others but I like that it is signal number 3 here because my school will not suspend our class even if the typhoon is strong. I am happy to be warm, dry and safe here at home rather than being cold and wet in school.

I wish I was in Cebu too to experience good weather. I'm From Bulacan and this time it's already 8:38pm and we're still experiencing heavy rains but less winds already. I'm afraid to lose my internet connection, my life will be boring without my internet. (lol) Luckily we're on a safe place compared to some. But Ondoy is far more ravaging than Pedring. Maybe because we are more prepared this time than Ondoy and we learned our lesssons already during the Ondoy experienced. wishing the next typhoon will not be stronger as Pedring and Ondoy! Just smile and sing "What a wonderful World"! (lol)

The typhoons that have visited Philippines are truly devastating. Long before or during my time, there was no such thing as overhead,and over the roof kind of flooding. I still believe that negligence and corruption on the part of the Authorities are the culprit of all these tragedies. Even if the storms are too strong, given the proper monitoring of all our facilities, strict implementation of the do's and don'ts for our nature or environment, stop corrupt management in assuring our security and safety, the people will surely be protected against the blow of typhoons. We should pray first for these sloppy people to change before we think of the damage that will be coming.

Yeah! This typhoon is quite nasty. The heavy downpour plus the strong gust of wind really is something scary. I see a lot of umbrellas tumbling over into disaster and a lot of flooded streets on my way to work. Good thing that the classes were suspended even though I still got my full hours of work going with it. The roads are a bit dangerous until now. I saw a lot of uprooted trees and signage everywhere. Electricity is also a big problem with a lot of areas too. I hope the typhoon will stop and the weather will calm down now. But really, all I want to do is to sleep this typhoon out.

I really experienced the strong winds and rain caused by typhoon "Pedring" , I was hesitant to go to office just this morning and along my to the office strong winds almost destroyed my umbrella and the rain kept pouring at me and when I arrived at my office I just discovered that they are suspending work for today.

Right now...1:23PM its kinda sunny in Cebu, Lapu-Lapu specifically...but it looks like its not gonna stay long. I do hope the typhoon passes by quickly to lessen its damage.

Actually, Pedring passed by our region yesterday. All levels of classes were suspended and we were made to go home at lunchtime . The governor declared it as a non-working day. I am glad though that it wasn't that strong - the wind and the rain. Today, we are back to normal although a bit rainy and gloomy still. But today, our daughter sent me a message that Pedring is at their place (Manila) already . She was worried though that the brownout might last until tonight, so she is already studying hard that moment she sent me the message. I prayed last night that Pedring would simply pass and just go out to the seas , and not ravage us much.

hi igatiful! yes there is a new typhoon and it is scared because it is signal no 2 and 3 already i m here at Baguio and we are now experiencing heave rain and some places are also flood already and there is some land slide please pray for other people also who are in calamity and it need prayers.
