I'm glued to the news whenever I'm at home.
That's an estimate for Tacloban City only.
Looking at the video clips I suspect it'll be a huge loss of life.
Mostly from the coastal storm surges which were beyond any understanding, even to extreme weather experts.
I said in a previous thread......some of the most beautiful islands have been completely destroyed. The destruction is likely much more widespread than anyone can imagine and those islands will probably never recover. Wherever you look in the track of this storm there's nothing left at all.
I admit to being so badly affected. I'm just helpless.
I just hope all those international relief organisations can react fast.
I'm glad the BBC and other media have made a big focus on this and especially a human aspect.
We need many millions of people to become heartbroken about the massive scale of the human disaster and donate what they can to the relief effort.
My hope is that corruption does not lead to the results and organisational impotence we witnessed in Haiti
