Experience with Frank
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
After that horrible experience with Cosme, I felt nervous and apprehensive of what's going to happen to us with Frank going in our direction on Sunday afternoon. It was a terrible feeling. A result of bad days we had after Cosme - what if there will be no electricity for countless days, what if our roof gets blown up this time. You know the feeling. Even others had it too as several women were rushed to our place because of chest pains. Just the sound of the strong wind blowing hard on your roof and making that unmistakable rattling sound on your windows and doors makes you shudder.
Frank's path was so erratic even people from the weather bureau had difficulty predicting it. It was just good it turned out to be less strong as Cosme - there was no need to move appliances away from windows and doors. The good thing was that electricity was restored just after six hours of brownout though it continued to rain that day.
The thing that worried me most was the cancellation of classes. Friday was Dagupan City Day, hence a holiday in Dagupan City. Then classes were suspended Monday because of possible floods brought by the typhoon. If the rains continued, classes might be suspended up to Tuesday, the news said. This will then result to several Saturday-make-up classes for my kids. It's good today, Tuesday, is a sunny day. Though it rains often in the afternoon, there is no more typhoon. At least for now.
