... 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.

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. -------------------- Chris

Phew! I gotta say that I can't imagine what you and Eric endure in the way of these tropical storms.
Here in Montreal, the worst we get is the tail end remnant of a storm that works its way north from Florida with higher than normal winds, but plenty of precip. To endure sustained winds in excess of 100 miles/hour is something that I'm not sure I would want to experience! -------------------- We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star, but we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
