Hopefully we'll hear from Tim soon.:sadangel:

I have his phone number and will try calling him in another day or two. I am sure he may he a bit busy with this storm.

Dayum, it looks like the eye passed right on top of Tim's island. Praying that everyone made it through safely!!! :sadangel::sadangel::sadangel:

I think our gifts thus far will be tiny compared to what will be needed...

:iagree: that's what I was pondering last night. I wish I could get away for a few weeks to help organize a rebuild team. I'd be all over that.

Of course he has other priorities right now. :cert:

Come with me

What dates are you going?
It's highly doubtful that I could swing it, but you never know.

Looks like it plowed right across his home

:sadangel::waiting:

Hope all is well :sadangel: I just can't fathom winds of that speed, when Ike rolled through here I though those winds were crazy.

several updates from the Philippines..
Live: Typhoon Haiyan Makes Landfall - Southeast Asia Real Time - WSJ

That report says 235 sustained winds with gusts of 270.

That's like getting plowed by a 10-15 mile wide class 4 and 5 tornado.

Spoke with Danielle over breakfast and she said I should go. Let's talk later about dates and equipment needed as we find out what we're actually dealing with.
I'd normally buy stuff at the destination but it's doubtful any supplies will be available.

First orders will be emergency relief and clean up.
PM on its way.

235 KPH, so about 150mph. Still very bad, but down from the peak of 195 mph they were throwing around last night. It gives a little better hope that there something left there and that Tim and family are OK.

If you guys do go, please be aware of the extreme level of corruption. Even when you will be trying to help.
