Don't know about the rest of the guilds, but we have a few folks in the path of this monster storm and I remember there used to be quite a few Angie players from that area as well.
So send out some prayers and good vibes and lets hope people are safe.
Coverage
at weather.com
Approximately 792,000 people in the Philippines were forced to flee their homes.
...with sustained winds at 195 mph and gusting to 235 mph, the storm was the strongest tropical cyclone on record to ever make landfall and "the 4th strongest tropical cyclone in world history. The previous record was held by the Atlantic's Hurricane Camille of 1969, which made landfall in Mississippi with 190 mph winds...
And just a month after that nasty earthquake too
just, damn!

Indeed... I feel like in some conversation way back Fac told me he was down abouts those parts. Wishes for safety, recovery, and hope to anyone down there dealing with this. The pictures on the CBC are pretty scary looking.

Hi Guys,
How are you all? Well, I am from the Philippines and specifically in Cebu wherein it is an adjacent island to Tacloban which were totally devastated by the typhoon. Thank you all for the concern and prayer and we will survived all of this...
Sid was lucky his vacation ends a week before the monstrous onslaught but was anxious in SG I think. While that clark kent guy is currently in US but his family in Cebu is fine.
Thank you for all of your prayers, it lifts us.

ps,
I am still super busy with work stuff as December approaches (peak-season) but hopefully I will be able to play with you again. Just passing by though...
