Nervous tension fills the air as the monster Typhoon Hinnamnor approaches the nation.
Traumatic memories of Typhoon Maemi are still fresh in the minds of those who were hit hard by the storm back in 2003. Some were displaced, losing their homes to the typhoon, and some were killed or missing.
For elderly people who experienced the nation's deadliest Typhoon Sarah in 1959, the coming typhoon is also frightening.
Awed by Mother Nature, the survivors hold their breaths and try to gauge how disastrous this one will be.
The clock is ticking before the typhoon's arrival.
People may be calm on the outside but they're anxious on the inside.
