People in the 'developed' world need to understand that many/most dwellings in SE Asia are more akin to a kid's tree-house than to either their 'state approved' single-family dwelling or smart-city high-rise coffin apartment as the case may be.
My high-end 'rich person' house suffered zero problems and not even all of the flowers were blown off of one of my bushes. 20 meters away, a typical dwelling was pretty well destroyed. Roof gone, two walls fell over, and I could see the owner's mirror and tooth brushes. 78 hours later the roof was back on and the place was 'good as new'.
I had/have a lot of respect for Filipinos who deal with 'natural disasters' by just hammering their shit back together and move on with life. I've not been in SE Asia for too long, but it really does seem like there is an increase in whining and complaining and begging for hand-outs. Honestly, it's bolstered greatly by 'social media' and indeed by Westerners who encourage people to post piteous pictures and seek hand-outs on-line.
I don't actually want to down-play the very unpleasant and at times terrifying experience of storms, and it is certainly extenuated by not having access to 'good' housing (and good infrastructure more generally) but people need to understand that the cost of an 'acceptable' house is more than most people could earn in a lifetime. These countries are being pressured to adopt 'international' standard for construction which is only going to make people's problems that much worse. The typical 'squatter shack' in The Philippines is a luxury apartment compared to a tent on the streets of Portland Oregon. And the neighbors are better people too I'll bet.

Since when I was a child this would be the strongest typhoon I've ever experienced in my whole life my niece and nephews are crying that time until I lose my muscle I think I'm fading away ,it's looks like my house transfer to the other places 8pm until midnight the wind are really strong and we haven't a roof that time we are so wet. That was traumatic and memorable moments of us in typhoon Odette.
If I think about my position if I was in your position at the time of the typhoon.
I will definitely be very scared.
And when I look into the photo you shared. I think this hurricane disaster is terrible. Looking at the raised roof like that, it must have been a very strong wind.
But I am grateful that you are still given safety and able to rise again.
But are there certain tips or ways to try to survive the hurricane? Because lately in my area there are frequent strong winds. And I like to be confused about what to do for rescue when there is a big wind.

Oh no what a disaster. You should be thankful to God that your all right.
If it is possible you should also help those people who are very badly affected by the typhoon.

Firstly, i thank God that you are alive to even tell the story, as life is the most important thing, many have died from less. A circumstance like this especially at a time like this is not so easy to handle, getting back up on your feet and recovering lost properties may seem difficult but it is not impossible. It will take a bit of time and resources, but it is what must be done. My prayers are with you.
Hello, guys good day,
I don't know where to post this if on an off-topic board or here in politics and society, but this topic is about typhoons so I decided to post it here.
I want to share with you guys my experience in this supper typhoon on December 16, 2021, 5:00 pm Philippine time the typhoon started to wild, some roof of my neighbors started to broke and the time goes on 9:00 pm some trees started to fall and some houses included my house washout by the typhoon.
It is a long run to recover and stand again
Not enough electricity sometimes the internet connection will be lost.
