Prompt A Day | Headline Today

14 days of doing Prompt A Day challenge by @shadowspub. Yey! There's no secret, but I do lose a bit of sleep trying to keep up. So far, so good.

I chose the word prompt for today, and I'm linking it to the news headline of the hour in my country.

Watching the local news is a bit depressing these days. Yet I am torn between avoiding sad news and needing to keep up with the latest news on Taal Volcano. In case you haven't heard, Taal Volcano's phreatic eruption last Sunday afternoon caused ashfall in surrounding vicinities. Classes and government work were suspended the following Monday.

We live within 100 kms. of Taal Volcano. Thankfully, we are not directly affected by the ashfall. However, upon seeing videos of places near the volcano, I felt sad seeing dead plants and animals. Even the landscape turned all gray due to ashes. What truly breaks the heart are the animals that were left behind on volcano island. Some folks apparently braved the warning to stay away and went back to retrieve some of their pets. I saw the video on Twitter. It was heartbreaking to see animals being abandoned. I hope they get rescued too.

At present it's all wait and see, as the volcano hasn't fully erupted yet. Authorities are closely monitoring the activities. However, there were a number of places that were already evacuated, leaving them to look like ghost towns. I feel for those folks who were displaced. I somehow couldn't imagine having to relocate at this point in my life. I'm praying for the best for everyone. For the meantime, classes will resume tomorrow. It will be slowly back to normal for those unaffected.
