LUZON'S NATURAL BARRIER AGAINST TYPHOONS
SIERRA MADRE IS TRENDING DURING TYPHOON KARDING
Trivia
The Sierra Madre known as Luzon’s “backbone” spans over 540 Kilometers from the Cagayan Province in the North of Quezon province to the south of Luzon Island, looking like a spine keeping the country upright and acts as nature’s shield against a super typhoon #KardingPH.
It plays an important role against typhoons and floods coming from the Pacific Ocean by acting as a natural shield.
A typhoon is considered a destructive natural calamity that may affect the lives of people. Having a presence of mind and knowledge during calamities will save our lives.
We can’t control the risk but we can lessen the destruction it might give. As responsible citizens, protecting our nature is very important. It will save us from any uncontrollable situations that might occur.
Illegal logging and deforestation are some of the environmental degradations that may destroy our planet.
We might not see the effect of this degradation but then it can be seen through unexpected natural calamities. Whatever the planet brings us it’s our way of treating nature. It’s the reciprocal of what we are doing in our environment.
For all the worries we had, God made His way to protect His people.
May the Lord give comfort to them and strength to see and have new hope in this situation let His restoration and love be upon those affected.
Storms come and go, and with every passing storm, there is a lesson to glean from. – Pastor Jimmie Duran
Let’s take time to pray for our country, the families affected by this typhoon, to the people who lost their lives and their homes, remembering that the Lord is our mighty protector and refuge.
