🥺🥺🥺😟😢😢
JUST LIKE HYANN…
please pry also Philippines its next to it…
Having lived there for 2 years in my childhood, I hope that the loss of life minimal. The damage will be intense no doubt.
GUAM AFTERMAT
i hope Philippines will not really gonna affect of this typhoon im worried becuase its starting to rain here praying for guam 🙏😔
I'm in saipan usa, and we felt the tail end of it.
its not as massive as typhoon oddete. it was so strong no electricity for 3months
if the cyclone's wind can flip a pickup truck like that, imagine what it could do to a human.
Results of climate change
How is a typhoon different, from a hurricane?
Miss home. Typhoons are fun.
Not every 20. Every year but the 300 mph is more like 5 to ten. Every year at least 100 mph. This is the tropics. It's fun at 100. Just have to be careful and bring in all the pets and flowers. Trees are fine. Just go bald for awhile. You learn to bbq.
Do people even realize what 140 mph winds are like? I mean HALF that, 70 mph winds, are horrendously destructive.
I had a major branch break off of my huge Deodar Cedar, ~14" diameter, landing on the neighbor's roof – damaging it. Our windstorm here in the south San Francisco bay area in March had wind gusts that were around 30-35 mph. Lots of big branches were downed, some trees uplifted. 140 mph? If you go outside and get hit by a pebble it would be like being shot with a gun. (I know bullets are faster than 140 mph, but a 140 mph pebble in the head? Deadly.)
i live there 😂 all my life and grow adult i know how strong the typhoon there and it’s hard with no power and water we tried this for a month i was lucky that we have small fish pond that i filled it up with water just for the rest room used .. God bless everyone i hope u guys will recover very soon
I’m glad my family still in a good situation from this deadly typhoon Thanks God ..
GODBLESSYOUALL
The Collapse of these banks has torn into global markets, with investors ripping up their forecasts for further rises in interest rates and dumping bank stocks around the world. I'm at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $780k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
Lol malafunkion 😂
Prayers for our Pacific family in Guam.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Damage report sir everything on island is 98% wet or floating.
And its expected to hit the Philippines over the weekend.
God bless us all.
😨
I felt our available assets were destroyed, and we know the people who destroyed it. On television, there was a program about an African people who are self-sufficient and use a secluded lake that is kept secret; and they do the same thing in South America. There have been no assessments of the number of animals left and the feasibility; for example, Jane Goodall said if you lose something important at the bottom of the food chain (plankton you could study inside, but I recommend numerous informal projects,) then it can collapse. Polar bear customarily hunt seals, while they tried to study salmon like grizzleys and penguins. One group was studying them and adopted one. The same with the elephants who want to stay in their natural environment. To catch a varmint, I would decorate the cage, and use peanuts inside, but it DID NOT WORK. We used cyanide and we blocked one of the entrances to their den. I would rather have pet squirrels by putting out some peanuts where they try to get in. You need to put a container under your drainpipe. I hate to say this but there has been some emphasis on medium dogs and small dogs, and foxes. And cats. If death is a natural part of the balance, in which they eliminate the weak, overpopulated young, old, and disabled, and they WILL seek out humans when hurt. We had a bird with a hurt wing, an orphan baby cat, and a young pregnant squirrel. I think China did good with those theme parks; but again, I challenge it as a neighborhood project; for example, how many neighbors do you need to feed a pig every day with scraps? It has been done in Egypt, and the pigs were kept in a courtyard before Swine flu. The squirrels were satisfied once they knew we make moccasins out of their brothers, because it is the thought of them being in confinement. . . They are very smart and there should be more laws, because usually a behavior is connected to a medical problem.
I had one thought, which was the people of Guam would want the grassroots help if the U.S. Navy is providing assistance, and then the videos stopped on the International reports. I thought I learned Guam is a protectorate; but at the same time, a standing army might not be safe.
That was not a fun storm. You could feel the drop in air pressure in your ears. The weird air flow in the building was causing overhead panels to aggressively flutter. My apartment balcony door was annihilated into thousands of glass chunks and my surviving windows sounded like they had some unending demonic scream rattling them. After the storm passed, the road behind the apartment building was filled with mangled solar panels and rocks torn off the adjacent cliff.
Sana umangat di dumaan ng pilipinas be safe everyone
🙏 ❤
Prayers to all people in Guam 😢stay safe !!!
