though it was expressed that no thanks are needed, i still want to give one. thank you to all the caring forum buddies, may God repay you for your kindness.
i don't know the current figures but the average of typhoons we experience used to be 19 annually. it usually hits the northern part of the country where efren's and django's places are. pampanga (efren's place) is prone to flood. it's not mountainous though so i hope he did not have anything like landslides or engulfing flash flood. these guys are prominent personalities here so if there's anything untoward that happened to them, it must have been in the news already and i think there have not been any.
i'm glad to read from those who know that the particular persons you care for are ok.
yes the rest need our prayers, especially the badly stricken ones. i hope and pray that they be resilient, comforted and restored.
