It was all over the radio and the television.
Typhoon Dodong, with an international name "Noul," is coming to visit Batanes.
It wasn't a super-typhoon, but it brought heavy rains and strong whistling winds.
Good thing that it didn't smash the province.
Sleeping during the night of the typhoon was a challenge.
It was frightening.
We were baffled by what the storm can do.
The branches hit the windows, I thought it's going to break ours, because of the powerful wind.
Morning came, and we decided to take a stroll around.
It was unsafe, according to the locals, but we insisted and was too curious. Haha!
We wanted to know the extent of the catastrophe brought by Dodong.
It wasn't too much.
Majority of the trees were still standing tall.
Although those with the soft trunk like the bananas fell to the ground.

Restoration came fast.
The locals, along with their kids, helped in decluttering their streets.
Even the electricians went and checked every post.
Did their very best to fix them and
bring up the light in every household as soon as they can.
Good job, Batanes!!
And when we got tired of our walk,
we head home and run towards the kitchen.
We made "champorado." So perfect for the bed weather.
We prepared it with freshly squeezed coconut milk.
It made the dish tastier and creamier.
We added dried fish, and it made the perfect combo. #happyTummy
