Reacting to Skypod CCTV Footage DURING Typhoon Odette. (SCARY!) 

Kryz's casual realization "buti nalang engineer ka" is so cute

I literally got goosebumps just watching the different footages during the onslaught of Odette. I can't imagine how scared those other people have felt during those moments. It was probably the longest and scariest night of their lives.

I really like that Slater includes Kryz on most of his videos. Especially with the commentary ones.

If you play it 2X you can literally see the glass shakingggg grabe it takes tons of courage to keep your emotion intact and manageable. Hugs from Manila, ang strong nyo po sa visayas!

That was a very traumatic night for Cebuanos in central cebu. Imagine yung feeling na nasa isang corner ka lang and nag pe pray na lahat ng family member mo and mga pinaghirapan ay okay lang after the typhoon pass. The feeling was indescribable with all that smashing and strong whisper of the winds. It was like dooms day na ata that night. Very scary experience. 😔

Kudos naman doon sa hanger sa service area na even after those winds eh nakasabit pa din 😂 siya talaga ang pinakamatibay sa lahat!

I love that you speak your home language so much. Could you also please consider adding English subtitles if it’s possible. I follow you guys from South Africa. Thank you.

grabeh! for this situation it pays to have an engineer hubby and an advance thinking wifey to survive monstrous Odette. you're so lucky not only bcoz you pulled this through but even more so coz you get to help others of the same situation. God bless you more skyfam!

Yes, it really gave us chills... we couldn't eat dinner well because the wind is getting stronger, then later windows starting to break, and roofing of neighbors flew into our parking lot Thank God everyone were safe

I'm from Southern Leyte and our province was badly hit by Typhoon Odette, too. The strong winds and rain started at 2 P.M. and ended at 10 P.M. We had witnessed how our entire roof was ripped out by the strong winds. It was the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my 25 years of existence.

Looking forward to the house strengthening videos. We are wanting to build our house on the coast of Guimaras strong enough that anyone who needs shelter from a storm can be safe inside with us while still taking advantage of the hill top views. God bless and stay safe.

Imagine building a beautiful dream home. Then your only defence is hiding in a closet. Cebu is prone to natural events. Extreme weather and the hydrological consequences of climate almost ensure that what they experienced will be amplified several times. Its fairly easy to prepare. Build a room specially. Shutters for the windows. Remove things in your garden that will essentially become missiles. Spend one hour with your house staff and family preparing a plan. These people " who are excited to talk about there drama" so they can have a video to post on youtube -while other people are dying and losing their entire neighbourhood. They are exaggerating because there cctv camera was moving around. Only because said camera was key to recording they entire thing. such a dissapointment. This video could of been something educational- instead its just some new money filipinos talking about luck when facing mother nature. Then attempting to commiserate with their invisble neighbours.

I also feel blessed that we have a durable house. The winds were so strong I thought our roof would be ripped out and glass windows broken, but thank God there were no damages from typhoon Odette, buyag. Looking forward to your upcoming project/video for a “doomsday prep” home because my parents are also planning to build a new house away from the city for their retirement. Thank you for always sharing your ideas, Slater!

We need to educate people, build house with reinforcement for super typhoon and eathquakes

Same tayo brand ng cctv. Very convenient talaga neto. God bless your family.

Never imagined how strong the wind it is but we are thankful that everyone in skypod is oky! Always stay safe kuya slater and ate kris

It's my 1st time to experience strong typhoon. I lived alone in a house. And what makes it worst is that I have panic attack. The whole time I'm having panic attack. Scary indeed!

“buti na lang talaga engineer ka love” ms kryz giving us ideas

That was one of the scariest moments indeed. My house is concrete with only two windows but it was not that safe from the 3 tall trees that fell down on my roof. It destroyed the roof (sheets).

3:42 moral lesson, be up to date on weather forecast. There are a lot of outlets, channels, infos (international and local forecasts) to gather to know whether the typhoon would be stronger than expected.

Can you do a video about sa future functional renovation of your house and what ordinary Filipino house must have when it comes to a typhoon like that...

Don’t know why but I felt like the trees were alive. Like they’re in a panic too

Same feelings here in Cabahug st., murag washing machine yong sound. Scary talaga.😞

Happy and excited talaga.. had no better appropriate terms to use? It was a devastating typhoon and damaged a lot of lives and here you are so upbeat about it monetizing off of a tragic event

Stay safe and GBU Skyfam, can't wait the renovation by Slater of your home and the Doom's Day prep. Facing Typhoon watching your video was quite scary and glad Skyfam are well and safe.

Sir Slater, perhaps a mechanism akin to Tony Stark's Barn Door Protocol is a worthy addition to your Doomsday prep hahaha. Like installing motorized garage doors that can seal the glass areas of your house during typhoons, hurricanes, etc. Joke lang baka super mahal hahaha

I’m from Dinagat islands and during the typhoon looy jud kaayo ang mga locals kay kasagaran balay are made out of light materials Halos tanan jud balay guba until now nag lisod pa jud ang uban specially kadtong mga walang wala jud.

Kaya nga we as an Engrs katulad ni Sir Slater are suggesting to home owners and clients na kong gagawa tayu nga bahay oh vertical structure sana we should not make tipid our materials making it more economical but not structural well built naman kasi Philippines is prone to super typhoon talaga . Na kahit yung mga government evacuation center ay nasisira nang bagyo. Hay. Thank you for inspiring us Sir Slater!

Yes, I'm planning to renovate our house. Something that is typhoon-proof na. I hope I can afford to get Slater as an engineer. I salute you Slater for giving us, your viewers, an idea on how to build a durable home for our loved ones. I'm looking forward to see updates about the enhancement of your home.

Mahirap talaga kapag Gabi umaatake ang bagyo ang hirap kumilos kapag madilim. Kaya kapag meron nag tatanung sa mga nag pagawa ng bahay. Dapat may isang room kayo na secure from lindol at baha. Dapat elevated din ang bahay sa daan

This reminds me how scary Yolanda was when naglandfall siya dito sa tacloban, good thing di ako masyadong nagkatrauma after kahit i experienced worse than this. But anyways, people shouldn’t take typhoon lightly, taclobanons thought it was just a normal typhoon so yep lesson learned yun samin, i hope same goes to everyone, must learn from the experience of others than experiencing it yourself tapos dun lng tayo ulit magiging ready. Good thing people already know what super typhoon is and storm surge so karamihan sa victims of Odette were kind of ready na. Stay Safe and Bangon Siargao, Cebu, Southern Leyte! 💪🏻

yes the sound of the wind is scary gives me goosebumps everytime buti nalang di nalipad bubong nang bahay namin although yung roof namin way back 90s pa. siguro may stronger yung materials dati EDIT: 12am-2am kami dito sa Negros tinamaan. So it was pitch black although our house was surrounded by solar lights na bumuhay samin sa 7 days na blackout. 🥲 Blackout here was around 7:30pm. Partida here in Bacolod di kami halos tinatamaan nang malakas na calamities. The last time the oldies recalled was 1990 bagyong Ruping? then during Odette.

why not mount a frame outside the glass walls where you can slide wood slabs to protect it during typhoons? i also dream of having a glass house but after seeing this… i’m not sure anymore. typhoons are getting stronger year after year. we should not only focus on aesthetics in constructing our safe havens.

Im so impressed with how Slater made the skypod. Talagang tested ng bagyo

Bro, getting maxicare is really helpful. My mom was rushed to the hospital last year and thank God, we had maxicare.

Ang kapitbahay naming Marites yong cctv namin...😅 Detalyadong detalyado.

Thank God safe mo with your family sir Slater ... 🙏

Engr, bakit niyo po pinili ang mga IP Cam instead na typical centralized na CCTV?

Better install po commercial CCTV with NVR. Ilagay niyo lang din yung monitor sa strategic location so you can monitor parin ang buong bahay in cases like this kahit walang ng wifi.

Keep safe po. Your family especially the baby. God bless 🙏

Kryz experiencing Ondoy here heightened her senses to preparing for SUPER typhoons. Would like to hear from Chase's storm shelter though

Hope everyone is safe!! I really like the vlogs of Engr. Slater especially when he shares both his quirky and nerd side. As an arki grad, I really idolize you and I have someone to look up to.

This gave me the idea to check our cctv. It has been sitting untouched since the typhoon.

come out with a sustainable design / prepper series. we live in a country that experiences storms and typhoons. house designs should not just be aesthetics but also adapted to our environment. so real estate developers can finally take green and sustainable seriously.

same experience TY NONA in Northern Samar specifically Pambujan.. na nakasira ng kubo namin.. but syempre Thankful to God kz buhay kami lahat.. walang casualty ang Pambujan.. 😇☺️

Grabe 😬😟😲😳 Galing!!!! Buti nalang po safe kayo Sky fam 😌😊

I am surprised you do not have hurricane blinds. They are metal exterior blinds that you only close when expecting a hurricane they roll up at the top of windows and are in a container and you pull them down. Rolling shutters do exactly what you think they would: roll up and down. When not in use (a.k.a. when the weather's great and there's no storm on the forecast), this type of hurricane protection can also provide your home with additional insulation and privacy without sacrificing aesthetic. Some selections (like Roll-a-way's StormSafe Rolling Shutters), can even be controlled with remotes.

We're in the eye of typhoon, grabe talaga. From 9 pm until 5 am ata yun, malakas pa rin ang hangin hindi kami makatulog.

You guys should have a "typhoon lockdown mode" for your house. Automatic steel shutters for every glass panel?

Im also from cebu. Oslob to be straight. It was like 60 km away from the center but the winds tho. We we're shouting and saying like "santo niño luwasa kami" "lord tabang" and any other things. We also did the rosary. To be honest we weren't expecting that kind of winds. Just like everytime the wind whistles i cry. Grabi it was almost 12 hours battling with that typhoon. Such an unfortunate and traumatic event.

ngayon ko lang na panood ito. sounds so cute when krizy speaks bisaya words. like look o na upaw na ang tree. hahhahaha

In the East coast placing duct tape in X formation across the windows and boarding with plywood is common in preparation for hurricanes.

Wow its look terrible good to had cctv still see the actual happening outside your house sir and thanks god all you is save specially I adore you for making your house safe watching from Hiroshima japan

Pwd nyo din po lagyan ng typhoon chatter lahat ng window glasses to be save.. Thanks God your all safe.

7-8pm I was still tying the roof of my girlfriends house and it was a 2 storey house so it was really high. It's not seen in the video but the winds really whistle like in the movies and when it hits your face it felt like getting slapped with something hard doesn't really hurt but you can really feel the rain and wind slapping the heck out of you. I think it was 9 pm that I abandoned the roof and evacuated my girlfriend and her mother to the 1st floor and waited till it was over. -stay safe everyone. Ai kalimot social distancing 😘

Excited to see episodes where you can share with us how to storm proof houses, either on the building phase or with houses that has already been built, it would be very helpful for us especially that PH has typhoon seasons. God bless!

Hi Skyfam pwede nyo po ba ishare yung upgrade ng cctv? . I am inspired with the glass house 😊 Thank you and more power 🥰

Oh yes I am so interested to know what type of cctv you got there that doesnt require wifi, coz its hard to depend everything on wifi, like, what if there is a newtwork maintenance then we need to get an important footage...our cctv's here are old, the old school type with the dvr and stuff, and planning maybe to switch to an IP, but I thought, my concern is it is indeed wifi dependent...so I am so looking forward to your next vlog and enlighten us which one is smarter to get...

we should not forget the aesthetics din. It may not protect your house from strong winds. It may not give you less bills. But it will give you inner healing. We should remember that space,form,colors,texture,scale,even the smell of the house greatly affects our wellbeing. We call it,psychology of space. Remember that we have senses,and need nourishment too. Love and light.

Thanks God that you guys are fine. It is the advantage of the house with that build with good design, well engineered and built by the adequate contractor. Keep safe po kayo lagi and God blessed. 👍🇸🇽❤️ UAE

What we do here in the states is throw outdoor furniture in the pool. Board up all windows with plywood have that in storage ready to go screws not nails I think you know this just saying.

Thanks for sharing your experience during the typhoon Odette in Cebu. Im a Cebuana, currently in Australia and were enjoying watching your vlogs. God bless you and your family

Mas Malakas pa ang Yolanda Kaysa Odette :)

You are not praning Ate Krizzy, mas disaster prepared ka lang siguro kay Kuya Slater. Hehehe. 😆 Peace kuya slater! Love love Sky Fam ❤️❤️❤️

Scariest experience ever!! Like same among roof was dancing like hell dayon kahilakon nagud mi but we decided na butngan nlng og mga bato sa atop for them to be safety dun wa nagud ga tingog grabi kahadlok gud makaka trauma murag uyogon ang whole house.

Sir Slater dapat cguro baguhin nio nalang po glass house nio. It’s so scary. Para na din sa safety nio bago dumating ang malalakas na bagyo din. 😢 We’ll never know kasi😢

sir masuwerte pa rin kayo kahit na damage yung bahay ninyo kasi meron kayo kakayahang pinansiyal na tumayo ulit, agad-agad.

currently watching onduline webinar, sana maka gawa kayo ng vlog na a day with architect palafox!

during Yolanda Kalibo was hit so bad as well my cousin has a glass house in Kalibo as well and the glass was also bending as well and not all glass is tempered...ng open sila nga window about 3 inches lang taoos a door open as well ng stop and bend ng glass sa wind...basta mga naagjan lang ang hangin it lessen.

Yes ganyan din yan dito sa Capiz noong Yolanda. As in nakaka trauma. Nakampate dn kami dati kaya ngayon pag nagkabagyo grabi na preparation ng buong bayan. It's very traumatic grabi d ko rin malilimutan yun.

I remember the time that we were devastated by 3 consecutive Typhoons including Rolly which is at category 5, and it was by far the strongest tyhpoon I've ever encounter. We avoided alot of damages because we are already used to typhoons. My advice is that protect your house with all that you can. And for glass houses, cover your glasses with everything that is available. I hope that y'all recover fast. We bicolanos survived, and you can do it too. God bless ya'll.

I remember when we had a typhoon and my grandpa did not fully closed our our windows like there's a very small gap in the windows and he just put some sticks for the windows to not move. He told us na para daw mag flow yung hangin sa loob ng bahay and all our doors were open pa so nung nagtyphoon, I remember na lakas ng hangin sa loob ng bahay namin. After the typhoon, the houses in our neighborhood got destroyed and out house was just chilling with few leaks lang. Idk but I always do this when there's typhoon coming and so far it never do us no harm. Thank god. I'm not sure but it probably has something to do with wind pressure of whatnots.

Hi sir thanks for the info about sa tempered glass now may idea na ako kung anong gagawin sa house..

Super relate dre sa Bohol. Grabe jud nanaghoy ang hangin, langkat ang atup. Huhu from 7pm pag blackout to 6am ayha pa milurang jud. Huhu

I find it funny when ate kryz says maritess 😂😂😂

Excited to see house renovation/ upgrade after typhoon odette. 🥳

Holy shit! Thank God praning na tao si Kryz and she insisted to put everything inside even the heavy ones, it indeed played a huge part on why your glass walls were able to survive.

We live right next to the town where it made landfall. Pinakadugay nga Dagan sa oras we ever felt. Experienced it from 8pm to almost 5am the next day. Scariest experience ever but thank God we are all safe. Still Blessed. Pit Senyor!! 1month since Odette

Super relate dun sa sinabi nila na mafeel mo na talaga yung air pressure na it felt like you were on a plane. Grabe eto yung pinakamalakas na bagyong na experience ko sa buong buhay ko.

lovely couple ... ang ganda tignan ni ms kryz lalo pag tinitignan nya s slater. see how she love slater

Diri sa liloan murag whole night gyud nag igo si Odette 😭 started raining around 5pm, power went off at 6:30pm then the scary winds followed na. Lasted until 11pm where the eye passed, then came back mga 1am until 3am. Wind & rain stopped mga 4am na, and it was eerily quiet. Didnt get any sleep kay anxious na kaau basin mabuak among glass doors and windows. Thank God ni surviva rajud 😭

grabe watching the footages give me the chills talaga. Thank God, skypod is still in tact

Totally agree the video cant capture how scary Odette. Meron kami malaking firewall which blocks strong wind too pero grabe buong bahay yumanig including windows para kang nasa horrorhouse

This is the proof that in our country, we must have a quality build houses. Sana all maganda and matibay ang bahay. 😊

Same here. I am thinking to invest on off-grid solar power system.

Yes, they are safe BECAUSE OF ENGR. SLATER, that's a good engineer right there! As well as the concretes na ginagamit nila which is also from his company, DUDE YOU ARE AMAZING!! THAT IS A RESPONSIBLE HUSBAND AND FATHER RIGHT THEREEEE😭

Engr. Slater pwede ka mag content roof style na typhoon proof.thank you

Keep safe and thank you for sharing your experience..Also thank you for inspiring us...even though your also affected by typhoon your also helping the victims of typhoon! Wishing you more blessings!

samin kahit ung slide window nmin tinatakpan namin kapag my bagyo and my kurtina kc kahit mabasag ung mga bintana d msyadong mgsplatter ung broken glass

I pray to marry a civil engineer. Wala eh, electronics tayo 😅

I truly enjoy your videos! Did you build and design your place? Planning our move there. If you don't mind, can you recommend any great trusted home builders in Cebu or maybe your company. Thank you!

That is why, I wanted a boxyhouse so that it is strong...but syempre with God protection kasi di parin natin masabi kahit na super tibay

Mukhang need na dagdagan ng support ang i beams at columns ☺️ Medyo kahinaan talaga nya yung both side nya nagbebend. Always take care to all ❤️

Considering that the skypod's location is high, wind pressure effects are greater.

Yung big glass windows/doors talaga eh. That was also our concern nung odette. We were so scared because we also had big glass windows that were bending, we thought it was gonna break. Makalisang sa ngatanan. Seriously lahat ng sinabi nyo sa vlog na to natamaan talaga ako kasi ganun din yung thoughts and feelings ko that time. Dli na gyud nako ibalewala akong pagka paranoid huehue the time when I needed it most was when I didn't take it srsly.

I remember super typhoon Yolanda, that hit us also in Northern Iloilo. Yung trauma dn same sa Odette 🥺

The "buti na lang engineer ka love" at 13:11 makes me laugh, parang late nang narealize ni Kryz na engineer asawa nya hahahahahaha. So cute❤

Nagmahay nagud ko ngano wala ko mag engineering sauna. Super inspiring kaayo ka Slater. Akong anak senior high na siya karon grade 12, really wanted civil engineering since elementary till in senior high, wc is na happy sad ko. But murag nausab iya plano kay lastweek miana siya naku na, murag dili nalang siya mag engineering. I feel sad and worry kay wala napid daw siya kasabot ug unsa jud iyaha. I hope this video serves as her inspiration Slater. Because you are such an inspiration (and also my regrets ngano dili Engineering ako gikuha sauna). Gob bless sa tanan projects pa nimo Eng. Young.

That would be great!!! Looking forward sa doomsday house designs mo engr slater. New learning nasad on Functions than aesthetics.

Well done ,! Highly informative Mr. Slater and its nice that you show case this situation in actual facts presenting ypur house as a subject for the show . Though money counts but at least this show will.provide us a knowhow and choices to make , esp now my family is in the process of building a school building gradually base on budgets jere in Davao City. Rainy days is an important aspect to consider as a climate change issues. Thanks for this and more power to you and you family and hope to see more other innovative solutions esp. like this . May God Bless you and protect all of you from any harm .
