The sky is gray, adding a gloomy look outside. The wind is very strong. The tops of the trees sway back and forth with the wind. Now and then coconut branches are broken off the trees. The wind reminds me of the crashes of waves on the beach during the storm. God has kept the trees from falling on our house and not letting the wind strip the solar panels off our roof.
The volleyball court is strewn with old coconut branches and leaves. The wind makes the bamboo leaves look like they are dancing. The wind stops for a moment like a person stops to get a breath and then blows out again with a big huff. Then all is calm again. This happens again and again.
The storm is now slowly cooling down but there is still rain and wind. After the storm, I finally went outside and surveyed the scene. Our yard is covered with leaves and branches. As I look around the village, the scene is the same. Dad took a walk around the village yesterday. Many homes that had thatched roofs were damaged. Many rice fields no longer have rice. But thankfully no one was hurt seriously. Thank you, Lord, for helping us weather this storm.
