I'm pretty sure your area wasn't affected, but how is the cleanup going and people getting back into housing etc... Did you have any family etc in the affected area's?
I was in the middle of the supertyphoon when it landed in the Philippines, bro. I thought that would be my end. Houses were falling down and the water ( storm surge) killed more than 10,000 people in my area. Some of my friends died and were not found. The response made by our National Government was very slow so the people turned to looting and robbery. It was extremely chaotic and we were so afraid for our lives. It was apocalyptic. Money became useless. There was no rich or poor as everyone was scrambling for food and fuel. The storm surge took all my properties and we had to evacuate in Eastern Samar, Philippines.

I am grateful for your country bro for coming to our aid and helping us recover.
