Typhoon Paeng
The typhoon Paeng had done severe casualties at our country. Even I had experienced some of its casualties. Our subdivision is not a flood prone area; In fact, 2014 is the last time that we've experience flood but in typhoon Paeng, we experience flood in our subdivision. The flood water enter our house at around 8:30 and 9pm and it stays until 2 to 3 midnight. We also experience blackout from 2 midnight to 8:30 pm. I had some realizations after the calamity that we've experience. I've realized on how I've become really dependent to the internet for the reason of I felt really bored when there is no internet even though I still have my phone. Furthermore, I've realized how unprepared we are in typhoon because we don't have a survival kit for a disaster. Lastly, I've come to realized that risk preparedness is important and the quote "Prevention is better than cure" is right.

Babcock Ranch calls itself “America’s first solar-powered town.” Its nearby solar array — made up of 700,000 individual panels — generates more electricity than the 2,000-home neighborhood uses, in a state where most electricity is generated by burning natural gas, a planet-warming fossil fuel.
The streets in this meticulously planned neighborhood were designed to flood so houses don’t. Native landscaping along roads helps control storm water. Power and internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. This is all in addition to being built to Florida’s robust building codes.
Some residents, like Grande, installed more solar panels on their roofs and added battery systems as an extra layer of protection from power outages. Many drive electric vehicles, taking full advantage of solar energy in the Sunshine State.
Climate resiliency was built into the fabric of the town with stronger storms in mind.
So when Hurricane Ian came barreling toward southwest Florida this week, it was a true test for the community. The storm obliterated the nearby Fort Myers and Naples areas with record-breaking surge and winds over 100 mph. It knocked out power to more than 2.6 million customers in the state, including 90% of Charlotte County.
But the lights stayed on in Babcock Ranch.

Lidia dissipated early Wednesday morning after slamming into western Mexico as a Category 4 hurricane Tuesday night. But what’s left of the formerly powerful storm will unload heavy rainfall, raising the threat of flash flooding across portions of western Mexico.
