TYPHOON YOLING WAS HERE
At first it looked just like an ordinary rain. Then the wind blew. It blew harder and harder.
Finally, typhoon Yoling was in Manila. That was at noon of November 19,1970.The strong winds destroyed lots of things. Buses, jeepneys and taxis stopped plying the streets by noontime. Several airplanes on the ground were tossed like children’s toys. The heavy rain flooded most of the streets. People stayed in their homes.
When the typhoon was over, many people were homeless .All over the streets lay broken branches, uprooted trees, torn roofs and signboard. Roofs of many houses, churches, schools, hospital and markets were blown away. There was no current because many electric posts were blown down. Because of this, there was no water, too. More than two hundred people were killed and several hundreds were missing.
That was TYPOON YOLING-the strongest typhoon to hit Manila in 88 years.

It's really bad for one country to experience typhoon.
It's sad to know that typoon Yoling made many people homeless. Every wishing that it will not happen to their country.
Typhoon is a disaster. Every body should be ready always when that disaster came. Everyone were all in risk when typhoon is coming. No one knows what will happen if it will hit one country. Be careful to everybody when that kind of disaster will come.
You know, I experienced also a typhoon. I saw everything after that typhoon. The disaster it created to the people after.
typhoon yoling was one of the great disasters in the philippines. its terrible
I wonder what are the people doing on that time when typhoon yoling was heating your country?
I'm sure many people there are very scared with that typhoon. I can't imagine how people did their best when there is that typhoon.
I was in Manila during this Typhoon, and thought the name was Patsy; is Yoling the Filipino name for it?
I was a child then when typhoon Yoling destroyed our home, running from one room to another room until all the roofs were gone. Typhoon Yolanda 2013 brings back these sad memories.
