Spared by Typhoon Juaning

We were sadly expecting a very wet and stormy week this week, but thank God, the storm veered a little bit more to the north. All we got here were regular to moderate rain showers with very little gustiness. The thing about storms is you really never know. When typhoon Ondoy came, I didn’t mind it because it was just a low pressure area forming near land. I was thinking that it will just be a weak storm, but little did I know that although it had weak winds – it was carrying a months worth of rain! After that incident in 2009, I have been a keen observer of weather, always praying and hoping for good weather and to be spared from the worst.
