Typhoons

Philippines took a double hit in this week with two separate Typhoons. We have not heard from Elder Williams and feel like no news is good news.  Tomorrow evening is P-Day and we will be anxiously waiting to hear from him.  Many are without power and their is massive flooding so we wont be surprised if we don't hear from him. Here are a few details....

Powerful Typhoon Nesat crashed into northern Philippines Tuesday,  causing authorities to order more than 100,000 people to seek shelter from torrential rains and strong winds gusting up to 106 miles per hour in the capital city of Manila.

Nesat made landfall before dawn over eastern mountainous Isabela and Aurora provinces, which face the Pacific Ocean, packing sustained winds of 87 mph, the government weather bureau said.

The second typhoon in a week battered the rain-soaked northern Philippines on Saturday, adding misery to the lives of thousands of people, some still perched on rooftops from previous flooding.
Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate their homes after Typhoon Nalgae slammed ashore south of northeastern Palanan Bay in Isabela Province with winds of 100 miles an hour and gusts of 121 m.p.h. At least one person was killed in a landslide.
The fast-moving typhoon blew westward, barreling across the mountainous regions of Luzon Island. It weakened slightly as it reached the shore of La Union Province around 4 p.m., about seven hours after it made landfall.
