    Typhoon is a large, powerful tropical cyclone that forms over warm waters in the Western Pacific. It contains rising warm air and rotates counterclockwise. Thunderstorms produce lightning and thunder within rain clouds through electrical charges. Flash floods rapidly flood low-lying areas for less than 12 hours, while floods last longer than 6 hours by inundating lands not normally covered by water. El Niño and La Niña are weather patterns resulting from ocean temperature variations that can cause droughts, flooding, and temperature changes. Storm surge is a rise in seawater levels during storms, but is not a hazard for the baranggay mentioned as it has no bodies of water near it.
