After most severe typhoons, daming mga nasa hardware shops. Bili ng mga gallons, flashlights, emergency lights, lanterns, household tools, ice chests, tents, pati air bed kagaya sa mga home shopping silbing life raft in case of heavy flooding. It pays to be ready nga din naman, especially after what we saw in Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. Some of what looked like extreme prepping before suddenly looked practical and life saving after that.
