A disaster happened in our village???? Have anything to say??
I am Erick Royce R. Cunanan I am a 13 year old boy from the Philippines. A typhoon named "Ondoy" hit our country and left our country homeless. Last Saturday, September 26, it was raining very hard and it was nonstop, the rain was flooding the streets and soon the flood was in our house. There was a brownout that day. Also Sept. 26 is the birthday of one of my friends in school. I bet he had the worst birthday of his life during the typhoon. My parents were carrying things from the fist floor up to the second floor like The TV, the books, the CD's and DVD's, our food, and other appliances or things at home. The flood was up to my stomach on the fist floor and if you went out the water will reach your head. The water was terrifying deep and dirty. Some of our things were left down the fist floor like the refrigerator, the toaster, the bookshelf, the dining table, the radio, the gas range, the christmas lights and decors and some papers or books. They all were soaked on the water and some were destroyed and we had to buy new ones to replace them. We didn't have any cold water. We only ate some bread and hot water. We used candles or flashlights at night. IT was hot and dark during night time. The Second floor was very narrow that you could easily bump the objects because some things on the first floor was to be put up there by my parents so they will not get wet or destroyed. We got some food like rice from our neighbors, you have to go up the roof of the house to get the food. My Aunties and Uncles and some of my father's officemates came to give some relief goods like a can of corned beef or sardines, some rice and disposables plates, spoons and forks and to clean the house which was very dirty and full of Mud. Our car does not work anymore my father is still fixing and cleaning it. He did not go to his office for one week and I did not go to school for one week. He even puts some of the car parts on the roof. Our wooden chair was missing and also some of our slippers and trash cans. All our neighbors took their stuff out and were busy cleanin them. The computer shops were destroyed that they would spend Php 250,000 to replace the broken computers. There was a dead dog, a dead horse and some dead chickens. I Believe the animals died because of drowning. There were lots of floating objects on the water like floating slippers or shoes, floating wood, bags, garbage, plastic, clothes. The plants and trees lost some leaves, their leaves were covered in mud and it was almost leaveless. I had to commute from our house going to school and vice versa. I arrived late at school and at home. It could take us a month before the car will be alright again. What happened to the Philippines was an unexpected tragedy that affected the lives of many. It was terrible, it was a tragedy, I wish It was just a nightmare, it was like we were punished by God for our wrongdoings. Typhoon Ondoy killed lots of people and animals and it destroyed a lot of plants and flowers. please pray for our country. Thank you.
