Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
At least 12 people have died and six more are missing since the landfall of Typhoon Koppu (Lando) in the Philippines Sunday morning. Flooding rains continue to pelt parts of the country with torrential downpours forcing many to flee to rooftops to wait for rescue.
Troops have been deployed to help residents, but are struggling to access more remote areas.
This slow moving storm is predicted to take days to leave the other which means thousands of residents still have days of life-threatening rainfall ahead. The AP reported that 65,000 villagers have been displaced in the typhoon’s path, including in towns prone to flash floods and landslides.
“As expected, Koppu has stalled near Luzon in the northern Philippines,” said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. “Although its winds will continue to weaken, heavy rain will drench the region into at least Tuesday, leading to more dangerous flooding and possible mudslides.”
Typhoon Koppu is the 12th storm to hit the Philippines this year. In 2013 Typhoon Haiyan, one of the worst storms on record slammed the Philippines, destroying entire towns and leaving more than 7000 dead or missing.
Praise God…. He knows what He is doing. He has sent so many of our Brothers and Sisters from the States to that area recently to live, and now they can help the victims and hopefully, show them the Lord’s Salvation! Praise Him one and all!
