Destructive Typhoons and Jesus In The Philippines

Typhoon “Glenda” dealt Metro Manila only a glancing blow of about three hours Wednesday, but it was enough to shut down the capital, leave the megacity a shambles and without power, and take at least 20 lives as it blew out into the West Philippine Sea after cutting a wide swath of destruction from eastern to southern Luzon. The number of fatalities in the first major typhoon of the Philippines’ brutal rainy season was hard to determine, as most parts of the stricken regions had no electricity and the main disaster agency groped in the dark for information. The powerful winds of Glenda (international name: Rammasun, which in Thai means “God of Thunder”) brought down trees, electric posts and ripped off roofs across Metro Manila, where government offices, schools and the stock market were shuttered for the day. Without electricity, the elevated commuter train services LRT and MRT were suspended and most of the city of 12 million people sweltered in the dark for more than half of the day. Glenda’s powerful winds shut down the two runways servicing domestic and international flights at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) at 7 a.m., paralyzing the entire airport operations for most of the morning as the typhoon passed just south of the capital. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap) opened the runways at 10:40 a.m., bringing back airport operations. . . Philippine Star, July 17, 2014 In the meantime, I have asked the Lord Jesus before, I ask the Lord Jesus again: Oh Lord, my dear Jesus, after all these past centuries, isn't your Father as yet sick and tired of providing destructive typhoons yearly for the Philippines? After all, we Filipinos are your only faithful and prayerful believers in the whole of Asia since the 16th century. Really Jesus, don't you think that it is time for you to tell your Father God to edit out the errors, terrors, and horrors written in His Divine Plan for us Filipinos in the Philippines?. . .
