... keep him and his wife Yolanda in your thoughts and prayers. I don't think they got a direct hit, but it's ugly all the same.

94 dead in Philippine typhoon

Chris and Yolanda live in Olongapo, which is a little west of Manila on this map above.

Hi all,

All is well here in Olongapo anyway. We lost power and water for about 28 hours. No major flooding, we did have a lot of branches and trash to cleanup. The river by my house didn't get very high. (It's been higher during monsoons.) Once again we got off light.
