I'm sitting up in my neighbors second story house watching mine float away in the violent water. I can see other houses being ripped away from their foundations and being torn apart by the vicious waves. An hour goes by and the waves finally start to calm. I try to sleep for a while to relax but sleep seems impossible right now. Finally I somehow manage to sleep and when I wake, I notice my family is gone. I panic for a moment until I look out the window and see the storm is over and the sky is calm.
My heart and prayers go out to everybody who has been effected by the typhoon in the Philippines.
I think you've captured some sense of what it must have been like to experience the awful events in the Philippines Bailey. You've chosen vocabulary in the sentence which starts "I can see..." carefully, to give a clear impression of the destructive power involved.
