Got my fifth text message from another in Ormoc now homeless.

Also:

2.45 pm: Trauma not yet over for Philippines, second disturbance looms While the worst may be over, the Philippines and surrounding islands face another threat mid-week, possibly hampering relief efforts in the storm-ravaged areas, said reports. For one, a tropical disturbance located north of Papua New Guinea could hit Philippines Tuesday night or Wednesday, bringing more rain and thundershowers to the area, said a report on Accuweather.com.

“While the danger from Haiyan has left the Philippines, another tropical threat looms for the upcoming days,” the report says. While this disturbance is much weaker than Haiyan, the disturbance is “still expected to strengthen into a tropical storm and will return heavy rain to the areas devastated by Haiyan”.

About 100 to 200 mm of rain is predicted in the coming days which, given that the ground is already saturated with rainfall from Haiyan, could cause inundation, mud-slides and flash floods.

Last night's TV Patrol didn't even mention dead.

We've been scanning and trying to get a handle on it

MY theory is, the PH media hates Noy Noy as much as OUR media LOVES zero, and they do not want to recognize his leadership in the evacuation and being supplied before Yolanda.

Help me out, Al .. WV .. Lady

Sorry, but I am not into the politics here. I know nothing, haha.
Also, the feed is now on the hourly break. It is the same, however, that I see on my TV. They also give url links to the other Philippine stations.

OK ... but my concern is the lack of number of deaths reported.

Can you confirm any authentic reports ?

Americans are very generous in situations like this, even when they are financially strapped. We will be donating to relief funds to help the victims of this terrible tragedy. But be careful who you donate to. A lot of evil, unscrupulous people will be setting up phony “relief funds” to take advantage of our compassion and generosity.

There was a time that the US would be sending relief and ships. I’m guessing Precious is too busy on the links.

The government is protecting government buildings. And this chaos is homogeneous basically ie no previously axes sharpened or fires started in what was campaigned to be more civility.

My wife is desperately attempting to teach me Cebuano and the occasional Tagalog ... I like to hear the language.
