Typhoon Hagupit (also known as Ruby) struck close to Manila on Luzon Island on December 8, killing 22 people and destroyed 1,500 homes. More than one million people fled to emergency shelters and to safer ground. Thirteen months prior, Super Typhoon Haiyan struck the nation leaving 7300 people dead or missing.
With maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and gusts of 84 mph the storm did a lot of damage to the islands it struck first.
“The end of all things is at hand. The day of God is hastening on apace. The world is full of crime and anguish and sorrow. There are calamities by land and by sea. Storm and tempest make it unsafe for us to be separated from God for one single moment. Only those who live by faith in this probationary life, will be able to stand in the day of test, when everything that can be shaken will be shaken, but they shall dwell in safety and be unmoved.” Our High Calling, page 354
