I don't know if you guys know about the typhoon that just hit Manila and poured 2 weeks worth of rain in 3 hours causing flash floods everywhere. The rain has finally stopped this morning and water levels have receded.

If you are interested in donating for relief efforts- your local Red Cross would be the best bet.

  I am down South and we had no electricity for the past 24 hours. Yes I don't think there is anything worse than this.

  Thanks WW- I'm in Singapore so I'm fine but have friends and family in Manila some of whose homes had flood waters reach to the second floor of their homes.

To all friends/family who live in Canada and US who wish to help in the rescue and relief operations, you may donate through the American Red Cross. Call 1-800-435-7669.

It really is terrible. Hundreds of thousands are homeless.

Saw some photos earlier today; waters in some areas are still neck-deep.
