The Flood- A Continuation

I have just concluded my FLood Series, and here I am again blogging about it again. It's because there was another flood yesterday that affected thousands of families in the city again. This time, the flood is not due to the overflow of the river but due to heavy non-stop rain for almost 2 days. Many parts of the city are indeed affected as drainage got filled up and overflowed in subdivisions and homes. There were several landslides in different parts of the city and some bridges were also broken. I just don't know what's happening with our city. This is the first time we are experiencing such a calamity. We believe that even though it is not God's will for all these to happen but he allows things for a reason. May it be that at the end of these things as people will indeed turn back to HIm and trust Him more.

As for our family, we are okay. The place that we were staying was not affected at all. The electricity has just been cut off for several hours since the neighbouring subdivision has the water until the chest. It has been reported that 3 people are missing due to the flood.

Today, it has been warned that the city has a signal number 3 typhoon, so all the classes have been suspended. Thank God that the rain has already stopped but it's still very cold here due to the strong winds. Since it's so cold, we don't need the fan or aircon in the house anymore, but maybe some Gas Fires, electric fires or Hole in the Wall Fires ? :) But I guess, we won't really need those since we're in a tropical country. But just in case you need one then you got to check out Hotprice as they stock all the leading brands of fireplace manufacturers.

Anyways, back to the flood.. please do pray for the thousands of families affected with this calamity. Pray especially for the children and the old people that they will all be protected and healthy. Thanks!
