Prayer during typhoon

Dear Lord, Thank You for keeping my family, friends and I safe while the strong typhoon is passing by. For those who were unfortunately affected, we pray for comfort and rechanneling to the safe path. You alone can help us. Amen.

Review of typhoon-related Kankanaey words

udan = rain dagem = wind geday = land erosion teg-in = cold bayakbak = extremely strong drip of water ewang = strong flow of water that is getting in along the way The threat of the fusion of the strong wind, the downpour of rain, the whistle, the darkness, the cold temperature, ... lingers. Have mercy on us.
