"Manila airport was ordered shut for 12 hours and nearly 500 flights were canceled. Officials suspended marine traffic in affected areas as Kammuri, packing wind gusts as high as 150 miles per hour, battered the Philippine archipelago for a second day."
GJ - I discussed the typhoon with Pastor Palangyos today, via Facebook instant-messaging. Several new gifts have been sent.
Update from Pastor Palangyos - the typhoon has passed by and the sun is shining.
The resourceful members have already established a location and a permanent first floor. The temporary roof gives them shelter in moderate weather. |
