Old Mango tree down..

Count on a FILIPINO to smile even after a SUPER TYPHOON and a rolled over truck

No electricity, No MRT, People walked

Right now, I think Cash will be better...

Still have to go somewhere...

Skipping the flood

We had more water than this typhoon before. But the wind on this one was something else.

Nice pics, thanks for posting, hope all ok there in Manila. We have very little problems here from the storm.

Just some hangovers from the party as we couldn't dive - right Dennis

Thanks Mike... am sure you had fun... Always nice to have alcohol to warm you up when it's cold.

More trees down...

Just off Shangri La Hotel Manila - EDSA

Note: the guy is still texting... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!!

It would be nice if Manila traffic was always like this...

80% of the metro has no electricity..

Phone systems knocked out in some areas as well, we've had to activate the Super Secret Alternate Communications Lines (non-PLDT), at work. My boss went into the office and I called him from home. "How'd you call in?" "I pressed the numbers on the phone." "Smart A..."

I saw the flooding on the TV last night - crazy stuff, hope everyone's safe

news says it's the strongest to hit Manila in 11 years... looks like we got "perfect disastered" just like on discovery
