“Worst Weather”

Probably the worst weather that I had experience was the “ Bagyong Yolanda” back then I was being taught by my uncle on how to drive. It was the worst timing to practice for it was raining very hard. Me and my uncle didn’t know that there was a typhoon. I was still living around lahug at that time, so as we decided to drive home because the rain was getting stronger, the traffic was the worst! we have been there for almost 1 hour and a half yet there was no progress. The rain was pouring, floods started, people were panicking, and trees were swaying. We got home safely around 11:30 pm, and at that time I don’t want to leave the house anymore. Our garage got flooded, water bottles and garbages were floating all over the place. It really was a nightmare. So we went to turn on the TV bu the lights went out. It seems that a tree got knocked down and hitted the electric post of the subdivision. So we had to spend the night with coldness and darkness. That was the worst weather ever.

Our 12th weekly challenge was to share our worst weather-related experience we've encountered in our life (i.e. storms, tornados, blizzards, lightning, etc).

I was still a kid when some storm came to our place in Mindanao which I’ve forgotten already because of the trauma I had. It took me years to get over the incident that happened, and to think I was just 6 when that storm came to our place and took many lives which I was too young to understand and to scared to help people because I wasn’t quite exposed to other people. As far as I can remember, people we’re shouting at their homes saying “tabang!” or help, and what could have I done? even though I really wanted to help them I was helpless since the water was estimted to be above already my head. My dad carried me and threw me on our speedboat, yes literally threw because he was also rattled because of the screams, my mother as well and other siblings were with me on the speedboat, he told my mom to help as many people you could, so we did. My older brother and older sister helped my dad had their own jetski’s, thanks to Dad’s sporty hobby ( My dad was a Jetski Rider meaning he has a lot of jetski’s and water thingies that float ) To help more families my family decided to split up. So despite having the worst experience ever, it was also one of the memorable experience I had.
