    Hi all,
    I have been unable to phone my wife who is in C.D.O. but text do get through they have flooding there too.

    Jennifer is duu to fly to Manila Sunday afternoon for her flight to the UK on Monday, I can only hope the flooding is not afecting air travel.
    I am of course not fogetting the misery caused to so many people who are affected by the storms and flooding.
    Mick.

    I'm in the same boat I'm in the UK and Ana and the kids are in Manila.

    To make it worse my son's been in hospital the last four days with mild pneumonia :( and my daughter's been ill as well.

    There will be health issues after this flooding.

    My girlfriend Arlene is in Cainta rizal, i got a offline message from her when i turned on my laptop telling me that everywhere is flooeded, even the house which is elevated which makes me worried.

    she text me recently and told me she is stranded outside the house with her cousin's wife and cant contact anyone due to the blackout.

    If anyone gets any updates please post them.

    We are catching some of the bad weather here in Cebu - but not serious so far. However, it's been on tele today, loads of flights cancelled in Manila. I hope that you are all safe and ok.
