Words On Haiyan

Luckily Haiyan's path of destruction spared Manila (where I am right now), but my home province in Negros was not so fortunate with some significant damage to our farm.

 

Tacloban was probably the hardest hit based on what I've seen in the news...the insane winds and tsunami-like storm surge wrecked everything and it's a grim situation over there with dead bodies littering the streets, people looting just to survive, death toll expected to reach 10,000. Still worried because some of my friends who live there haven't checked in yet if they're ok due to the comms blackout.

 

I'm currently helping with relief efforts organized by my company to send aid any way we can, I hope the other Pinoys in the WF community do the same to help our less fortunate countrymen who have lost everything.

 

Oh and much props to Canada for pledging $6M in humanitarian aid for the victims.

Some good news today at least.

However based on my Red Cross contacts who are on site, it's still an uphill battle with regards to burying the thousands of dead to avoid the spread of disease, shortage of medicine, as well as the logistics nightmare as some remote areas are still cut off:

My countrymen in those central provinces need all the help they can to rise up from this disaster, it'll take them months to rebuild their lives. If anyone would like to help in relief efforts the Red Cross and/or Doctors Without Borders are the best options.

Hi everyone. Just went online in the forums but won't be playing Warframe anytime soon. I'm one of the survivors of the super typhoon. Yeah, I used to live at Tacloban, well, you may read most of my story in my thread here: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/158123-haiyanyolanda-tenno-survivors/

Anyways, me and my family are doing fine. Still rebuilding our lives at another province. So, what did I miss in the past few months?
