Almost a year ago to the day I was relating earthquake details. Well yesterday a cat. 1 typhoon struck here. Not much wind - 60 to 65 mph. But the deluge of rainfall caused a flash flood n the river which comes through Surigao City. Houses, bridges, cars, livestock. I don't know how many fatalities.
Our niece, who lived in a small cabin next to the river lost everything. My daughter's best friend, who lived with her mom and dad in an upscale gated subdivision 100 yards from the river, said the water came up in 15 minutes filling their first floor and ruining their brand new SUV.
Thank God it was at low tide or the river would have backed up more.
Our home is on high stable ground so we are fine. Except no power or water. We have a half filled water storage tank and little generator so we are okay for now.

RandM - time to practice your slide chops, if you play the dreaded 6-string thing

Yeah man, bad news on the fangers...
As for six strings - still my preference. So shoot me
Sad news Brian. I hope and pray it all works out for you and yours.
Oddly, it didn't hit the news here AFAIK. I guess they used up the color ink on Mayon Volcano :/ I did find news on the flooding on Filipino news websites.
I hope the long term effects are somehow good for the average native trying to eek out a living there.
Mabuhay!

NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo...............!
Please tell me you just made up all those genres typed up a quick wiki page with links to all the sub pages!
Uhhh, I think that drummer's dead.
I like a band that dresses for the occasion. Kids today couldn’t shine their shoes if their life depended on it.
Flood update: power and water came back last night.
I saw some video of a couple of folks being swept down the river, under a bridge, and out to sea a couple of miles from here. Very dramatic except it was low tide and there is a sandbar at the juncture of river and sea where they could get off the roof and walk to shore.
Still, a lot of damage and I am not aware of the casualty count, if any.

This morning when I saw your post, the news was a bit varied, but some said 4 gone, some 5. Sadly it seems one was in infant trapped in a house under a mudslide.
Sorry GOF's, but there's no possible way for me to be grumpy tonight. Just came from seeing our new darling little granddaughter who was born this afternoon, and her older brother has been staying with us the past couple days, so we're blissed out on grandparenting. Any of you who are grandparents know what I mean. 
There's no way to be down when there's grandkids about, but they sure can be exhausting. It's amazing how a 2 1/2 year can drain the energy from two grown adults in no time. When he went for his afternoon nap, we both took naps too so we can try and keep up.
Grandparenting is way more fun than parenting, and it's a great opportunity for revenge on your kids. I've already called dibs on buying him his first big bass rig, but probably not until he turns 5 or so. My daughter wants to buy him his first Marshall stack and one way or another he'll end up with a big loud drum set.

That’s very nice...love stories like that..
Offsets the grumpy I have brewing from having a cystoscopy and Prostate ultrasound this afternoon. If you know anything of these two procedures, then you understand. If you don’t, look em up.
Caution: NOT for the squimish...
