What word am I thinking of?

[Alice Heritage]

I'll have to Omit the awesome anagram, because Oh yes:

_ _ _ _ O _ _

WC RMS

[Manang Muyang]

How does an E for encouraging sound? (O is not my favorite right now as we await the fury of typhoon Ompong.)

[Alice Heritage]

Ugh, even the name sounds horrendous! E, however, is entering:

_ E _ _ O _ E

[Gravy]

Is there a D to be had?

[Helen_Combe]

Let’s hope Ompong takes the wrong direction.

N for north.

[Alice Heritage]

D is doomed but the needle points to N.

_ E _ _ O N E

[Gravy]

How about a trembling T?

[Alice Heritage]

T is trilling.

_ E _ T O N E

cmrwrsd

[Gravy]

How about an L?

[Manang Muyang]

Ompong on the loose. H for hope the flood doesn't rise too much.

[Alice Heritage]

H and L were too high-level for this word. Hope you're okay, Miriam?

_ E _ T O N E

[Manang Muyang]

Ompong exiting. At least the flood wasn't as bad as the last time. Power just came back on.

P for power! The next typhoon will also have a P name.

[Alice Heritage]

As some consolation:

PEPTONE

[Manang Muyang]

Yay! The little triumphs see us through every day. And whaddya know! Today's BOTD is about a flood!

Three letters!

[Alice Heritage]

Yes, I noticed that synchronicity! Is I one of the three?
