The Wake Up Call of Ondoy the Perilous

The Philippines was struck by one of the most devastating typhoons that ever hit our land. The typhoon Ondoy has left many people on top of their roofs - hopeless, and resigned. Below is a video of the devastation that the typhoon has done to Bangkal, Makati. This other video is taken from a building in Eastwood. Credits go to Initiate360 for the video. "I just got back from the river's edge 5 minutes ago. A 10-15 feet height differential between the Marikina River and the embankment has now been reduced to the point that water is splashing against the high-rises of Eastwood, Metro Manila. A security guard for this sealed off area approaches me and covers me with his umbrella while I snap pictures from my phone. "Where are the police or firemen?" I asked. He first points at a speck in the middle of the river 300-400 meters out to my right. "That was a woman with her 2 year old infant clinging on to her. She passed through here in the middle of the river - waving at us for help. There was nothing we could do - she had passed though within 5 seconds. We've been seeing other people washed away." We watched helplessly at the 20+ people 200 meters away that are now sitting on top of their corrugated roof-tops as the river rages beneath them on their submerged homes... waiting for emergency personnel yet to come." - Initiate360 Despite of all that happened, I believe that this horrible thing that just happened to us is God's plan. Maybe people have been ignoring God for so long, and this may be a wake up call for those who are asleep to open their hearts and respond to God's call.
