I'm from Cebu, and everything are limited from water, electricity, food, fuel, network, even if you going to withdraw money it's limited. But everything happens for a reason. We will rise again Cebu, Bohol, Leyte, Negros and Siargao and many places hit by this super typhoon. God is always with us.

[@WestPacWx]

I can talk until I'm blue in the face about how strong storms are, but that is nothing compared to actual video showing damage and emotion like this. These videos help more than you think, first to get the word out to a broader international audience and second to help show people who may be staring down a typhoon in the future what they might expect.

[@beadenise]

The funny thing is, as an island in the Pacific, the Philippines is used to typhoons. We get 20-30 in a year, and November-March is the worst. But nothing ever prepares you for it. Typhoons like Odette come maybe every six years or so, and people get complacent.

[@LootGoblin4118]

@@beadenise , I am surprised that a lot of the homes don't have storm shutters on the windows, so if anything gnarly approaches they just close and latch them, windows etc are pretty well protected then, but I suppose the cost is a major factor, but if you look at the cost to replace windows and damage to property and the clean up inside it has to be factored in.. even if they made them out of ply and on cabinet hinges, the protection afforded could be a major difference to the damage done..

[@kevinv.m.94]

Being in the Bicol Region (hit by Unding in 2004, Milenyo and Reming in 2006, Glenda in 2015, Nina in 2016, Tisoy in 2019, Rolly and Ulysis in 2020), hearing him to say that the locals in Siargao underestimated the strength of the storm feels so exact.

Went from a Tropical depression to a cat 5 typhoon in a blink of an eye.. It was a Tropical depression then the power was out, didn't know it was a typhoon cat 5 until the next day. It caught everyone off guard.

[@jeanmoralles977]

No! 2 days before landfall I already knew it will develop into super typhoon based on Pagasa's report in their website. I was already warning my friends in Southern Leyte and they were also informed.

[@dollyl5596]

Here in Bacolod it was at first cat 2 then an hour or two later it was cat 4, our electricity is back but still a lot of damage, but the city manage to clean up the mess the typhoon made, our neighbor cities, provinces in himamaylan and kabankalan homes have been flooded and destroyed, and I heard it will take months for power to go back and they badly needed water and supplies

Hello mam 👋 Jennifer

[@noblewarrior1887]

Thank you Tal for the very good documentation of this natural calamity. Your video documentation from few days before the landfall down to the actual ravaging of Odette on the island up to the hour the eye of the typhoon was finally gone , made us digitally experience also the wrath of Odette. It was scary seeing it in video but i think it was doubly frightening on the ground in actual. Appreciate your efforts to record it (even risking your safety) for everyone to see ... thanks. The next episodes would be the clean up and picking up the pieces and the start of rebuilding . Will continue to support your channel and will contribute in any way i can to all your upcoming efforts. I know you and your crazy friend Philip 😁 are physically and mentally tough to deal with the aftermath of this calamity. Take care and goodluck Power!!!

[@Sparky82]

Hello Sir 👋 ryan

[@pissedoffpotato1882]

I am a bit too late for this video but I would like to thank you for documenting this catastrophic event and just simply putting it all together as to just how it actually is. Thank u for helping the filipinos & for going out of your way & putting your life at stake out there. You guys did a great job. It is truly devastating to watch all of it just fall apart in a blink of an eye. Another category 5 😢 just finished watching tons of videos of haiyan just so my husband was aware of it as well

[@sayuripottertv]

[@Denise-Ann]

I survived hurricane Andrew and first, thank God you are alive. Second, each day you will clear the land, third you will find a way to rebuild. Just keep going. Each day brings hope. You have life, you have everything.

[@Moss_piglets]

Glad to see that you're all ok. Super typhoons are scary especially when you're in the middle of the storm. Please do an update on the guy who owned the bubble tea shop. I hope he is doing well. It's so sad that this happened during the Christmas time but knowing pinoys, they always have smiles despite all the devastation. We've raised funding to be sent to devastated areas to help families and animals rescue groups. Buildings can be rebuilt and businesses can start up again but lives are the most important. Typhoons, hurricanes and monsoons are no joke. I've had my fair share when we lived in Asia and the Caribbean when I was a child. Then when Sandy hit NYC. I'm surprised pinoys don't board up their windows to prevent glass from breaking and injuring occupants. Anyway, never underestimate a storm especially when you're on an island. They're unpredictable and even storm surges are not to be underestimated. Foreigners wanting to live in the Philippines have to keep in mind that the country sits on the typhoon belt and typically gets 20 a year. Then add the ring of fire and being an archipelago. It'll only get worse because of global warming. Extreme weather events and other climate impacts are getting more severe. We can't prevent natural disasters but we can certainly be better prepared.

My Story. We have a Booking which is paid. Reservations and Trips are paid also, Hotel and Resort plus foods are paid also. We have a paid booking flight to siargao via Philippine Airlines. We gone shopping for items and outfits also. All are prepared. Until i get admitted to hospital due to blood infection which is gladly i recover faster than i thought. Same date and time of our flight i got admitted. During my admittion, I've watched the news how devastating it is, also on social media, I've seen raw footages and photos. I cried. That's why even we can refund the money that time, we didn't and we donated. What i read to the bible that give what you can, it can make a huge change. Praying for this Beautiful place to recover soon. It might not fast, but slowly and surely. Thanks for Everything who donated. Thanks man, you did a great job, becareful and keep safe.

[@jeromejosephpama8253]

its really time for PH to start regulating building typhoon proof houses...

[@salustianosuay8381]

The only structure to consider as typhoon proof is fully concrete house but for normal Filipino family is expensive to built.I think the govt.should implement concrete homes in typhoon prone areas noting that the roof is GI sheets but provided with perimeter chb wall extended not less than 1 meter for wind protection.

[@jeanmoralles977]

We should start building igloo style houses. Construction 3D printers can do it quickly.

[@jeromeybarrita931]

@@joehinds29988 That was the problem in Kentucky recently. The region there was always known for tornadoes, yet nobody from the Federal and Local Government made an effort to regulate the use of concrete houses. How can you stop the tornado with houses made from plywood? That’s why the devastation there was catastrophic 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JB-qt8eh]

People from remote areas are mostly in the poverty level, they can't afford to follow building code regulations and definitely modern construction materials. The only solution IMO is the government providing housing for the poor, particularly in the remote areas with no job opportunities unless they can relocate in the big islands they have no means of income, completely relying on fishing and farming to survive.

Halfway through, I realized we stayed at the exact same place, right across the Happiness Hostel. It’s amazing to see how much the island has recovered from such a tragedy; even more amazing is how the people of Siargao remained the warmest people I’ve ever met despite experiencing such devastation. Truly one of the best places I’ve been to.

My heart is with you and have lived through 7 and 1/2 week's of no power I know I know. I wish I were there to help because I know what to do Seems I live that way sometimes.

[@stewlawph]

This is not the first Super Typhoon but Philippines has always recovered. So in time, it will be rebuilt. Zinc or Attap (Leaves) roofs cannot stand typhoon. That maybe affordable but not storm proofed. Building on the ground level near any beach without a raised platform is also asking for trouble but people never learn. Rebuilding without improving is the easy way out but I suppose recovery is priority, improvement secondary and will be forgotten, until the next super typhoon. Take care. Hope all will recover and build better. Social media is much better than 8 years ago when Hayan devastated other areas and funds and resources will help towards recovery. Other KZbinrs elsewhere are also spreading the news and getting funds to help. Take care & stay safe. There is still a pandemic out there.
