Typhoon Pedring in Manila

We are fortunate to be safe and warm at home. Though we experienced power interruption from morning til 4 in the afternoon, we are still all good. Jon went out to get KFC bucket meal to make sure we have food til dinner. Apparently, Tandang Sora road (between katipunan and commonwealth) had been closed in the morning because of a fallen tree that blocked the road.

We are situated at the ground floor, so we cannot really feel Typhoon Pedring. I brought Nathan at the lobby so he could hear and see what happens whenever there is typhoon. There we felt the strong winds while listening to the pouring rain.

When power was back, we were really in great shock to see on news what Typhoon Pedring did in Manila, particularly at Roxas Boulevard. A sea wall at Manila Bay collapsed causing flood at Sofitel, hotel guests were already evacuated to a safer location, as reported.

Stay Safe everyone!
