Super Typhoon Odette Hits Philippines Leaving A Hundred of Families Homeless||#club75

in Steemit Philippines3 years ago

A powerful typhoon hit the Central Visayas part of the Philippines on Thursday, December 16-2021. Toppling trees, flying galvanized iron, and knocking down power lines, as it ravaged the provinces. On that day my wife called me informing me that the typhoon has already started, the wind and rain are getting stronger. According to the news, signals number 4 to 5 will be about to hit our place in Lapu Lapu City, and every family must be prepared or advised to evacuate to a safer place.

As this happened, my children were scared because our roof started to fly. And I told my wife to just go to our church because it was safer there. I was worried because they were only three at home and I was currently working in Japan. It’s really hard to be away from your family especially in such a situation where your family needs you. I am very worried about my son because my youngest is only 5 years old. This is the first storm he has experienced. The power went out, making the situation even more difficult. My family ran to our church because the wind and rain got worse.

It is a blessing that we are living near our local church and this became the immediate evacuation site. Many families were already there when they arrived. My eldest son prayed together with the families there. Even when their clothes were wet they endured it. I was worried because my children had just experienced this situation.

The strong typhoon lasted for almost 3-4 hours. And the next morning my wife went straight to our house. And this is what she saw. Our roof was ruined and all our belongings were wet. Some of our neighbors had their houses totally destroyed. This is a big challenge, as most people have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.

This is the house of my sister-in-law in Bohol Philippines

Now, the biggest challenge after this typhoon is the lack of food, water, and medicine supply. Hopefully, the Philippine government will take action and help the people immediately.

I miss my family so much. I feel so drained, until now we have no proper communication yet. I want to know if they are okay if they have food and if they are in good health. Because of anxiety, sometimes I caught myself hallucinating talking to their pictures.

I know these calamities are just a test of our faith. Let us not lose our hope for God is watching us. Surely He will hear our cries.

Yours sincerely,
@juichi

Thank you so much steemcurator01. This upvote is a big help to our family and funding the reconstruction of our damaged house. I am hoping that you will help our fellow Filipinos who are in urgent need this time. Once again Thank you very much.🙏🇵🇭

My Brother @juichi .. I'm so sorry for the hurricane that happened in your area and I feel sorry for your home and your brother who was hit by the storm.

We all pray that the hurricane that hit and the damage that occurred can get help soon and all the damage and losses as well as all problems can be immediately handled by the government and by the social assistance / Disaster Assistance team in the Philippines, Hopefully all these problems will pass quickly and a return to normal and happy life for all people in the Philippines.

Especially for @steemcurator01 , I want to ask and also want to report that whatever activities I do and also what you do on steemit.com , for example voting and commenting, it's all invisible on https://steemit.com/@steemcurator01 , but only visible at https://steemworld.org/@steemcurator01 .

I also from 5 hours ago made a post and left a comment, but I can't see it.

so that all of the votes you gave, for example for my brother @bien who was also affected by the disaster in the Philippines, the comments you have given, etc., are all invisible on steemit.com.
Again , this is what happened ? Is the STEEMIT TEAM aware of this problem? Also I ask for solutions and help from @steemchiller 🙏🙏

I need to say so that you don't vote too much, if it becomes useless and doesn't become a gift for the account you vote for.

Also this problem needs to be quickly responded to and resolved by the STEEMIT team so that all STEEMIANS friends who make posts so that their posts don't disappear and can return to normal as usual.

Hopefully this problem will be resolved quickly and we wish all of us success on this STEEMIT social media which is the most powerful and we love the most. Hopefully we can all help each other on this amazing social media. STEEMIT

May we all be successful always..🙏🏻🤝🏻😊☕🍽️

Hi, there were some issues with the Steemit nodes since the newsletter was sent out and they needed to balance the load further by spreading requests to 3 additional servers. In summary, it was all working correctly, but the data on steemit.com was out of sync by seconds/minutes from blockchain level. As far as I know, it should all be back to normal soon ;)

Okay sir @steemchiller , the answer you gave was great and complete. And it's true that now things are back to normal.

Thank you very much for all your services and hard work in creating this very great tool : https://steemworld.org

One thing I want to tell you directly is that the steemworld.org tools that you created are really very useful for all STEEMIT members around the world. I myself have been on STEEMIT for more than 4 years, starting in September 2017 and since the end of 2017 or after you created this steemworld.org I always use it. Almost every time I open steemit.com I definitely open this steemworld.org tool. So this is indeed extraordinary very useful for all of us.

So I dare say that the steemworld.org tools that you created are the most useful tools on the STEEM blockchain. From your work, I hope JUSTIN SUN makes you one of the developers or specialists for this STEEM blockchain. Yes, this is just my hope. ️☺️🤗🙏🙏 And I thought back to the creator of STEEM @dan & the former ceo of steemit @ned.

I have one more hope: a few months ago, I could use the copy votes feature on this steemworld.org , but now why not anymore. what happened please upgrade or explain from you sir 🙏🤝👍☕

Thank you for the kind words! I don't know why the Copy Votes tool is not working for you anymore. On my side it is working as expected. Do you have any details on this?

Hi @steemchiller , Thank you very much for answering your comment , after I know that Votes copy is still working on your side , then I tried opening from other browsers i.e. Mozilla and Dan Microsoft edge and finally it worked perfectly, apparently there is an error in the browser Google chrome on my Smartphone, and I don't know what's wrong in my Chrome settings, do you know , may be where the error is in my chrome??

But I'm very happy today : 🤗🥰😁👍💯
You can see the photo below, I've been able to go back to using Copy Votes instead of the curator account that I follow, so this will be very useful for everyone who may not have the free time to open all posts and vote for them. so we can follow the curator directly and this is very time-saving and very useful for me .. in the future I can easily follow steemcurator01 to choose all the posts he chooses.

Once again the Votes copy tool is very useful for me and I am very grateful to you for making this very useful tool. but there is one request or hope from me, if I may ask 🙏🙏☺️

Please add a Tool to select posts in a special community or vote for posts with spesial hashtags so that it is easier for us to choose them. this is my suggestion if you find it easy to add it to the new additional menu in this very great tool : https://steemworld.org

Hopefully.. We wish you all the best Brother
