Typhoon winds

Ok so how stupid was this - I kept joking around with folks oh I'd be interested in experiencing one of those Typhoons they talk about are so common in the Bicol area - I change my mind. We have had days of amazing winds - trees bending, wind whistling - keep thinking the house with Dorothy is going to crash down on us any minute. We have not had as much rain as some areas - but in some part of the Philippines 8 people died with this Typhoon - one had a coconut tree fall on him. Imagine that. So never mind I don't want to experience any more of the intensity of typhoons in the Philippines. This taste has been enough.
