I have no idea if he's in the area hit by the typhoon but this is what the news is saying:
"Philippine Red Cross tells Reuters that early estimates put the death toll at 1,000 in one coastal city alone after one of the most powerful typhoons on record devastates the country."

It sure is scary to read that this might possibly be the most powerful typhoon ever to hit land!
"The strongest typhoon in the world this year and possibly the most powerful ever to hit land smashed into the Philippines on Friday, forcing more than a million people to flee, flooding villages and raising fears of widespread casualties. . .unconfirmed estimates of at least 1,200 dead."

If Carefree is okay, and has power, hopefully we'll hear from him soon!

Oh my! This is really scary!
"A Philippine senior regional police official says that the death toll after one of the most powerful typhoons on record hits the country could reach 10,000, according to the Associated Press."
We have some prayer warriors who are praying for everyone affected by this.

The satellite system recorded wind speeds of 235 mph at landfall, but the worst of the typhoon went about 90 miles south of us. The waves coming ashore were more than 70 feet high at places, with the average home in that area under 10 feet tall. The death toll is officially over 10,000 now. Had it gone through this area, the deaths could have exceeded 1 million (there are more than 19 million in the greater Manila area, many of whom are barely above sea level). My condo is on the 4th floor of a modern, guarded building; so even had I been at home, I would have been alright.

I can't imagine that, Carefree!
Thank God you are okay!!
Prayers for those affected by this, the victim's families, the healthcare workers, the rescue workers, the cleanup crews, etc. will continue to be in our prayers.
Again, so glad you are okay, Carefree!
