Terrible. Prayers up. :( Didn’t they also have an earthquake recently?

Tacloban City where this happened is the NE corner of the island of Leyte. The quake was SW of the island of Mindanao. So not close. (My inlaws live on the central east side of Leyte and said they felt nothing of that quake).

Tacloban is where typhoon Haiyan came ashore and killed 3000+ people with a 30+ ft wall of water.

Tacloban is where general McArthur landed when he returned to the Philippines (there’s a park there that commemorates it).

I know Tacloban as I fly into there with the wife to visit her family. (I’ll be there next month as a matter of fact).

One thing that I’ve seen is that Filipinos seem to take bullying MUCH MUCH more to heart that I did. I mean, I once punched a kid for saying my haircut looked like the little boy on the Dutch Brothers paint can, but I didn’t go looking for a gun.
