Typhoons Have Me Worrying!

[Near Manila, Philippines]
Back to back typhoons in the Philippines have left hundreds of people stranded on their rooftops for several days now, as they wait for rescue workers to provide them with much needed food and water! I have been following this story closely, as my best friend is currently living in the Philippines doing work with the Peace Corps. While I am anxiously awaiting contact from her, I continue to read the stories and see the pictures. The damaged caused by these two typhoons is estimated to reach nearly $726 million dollars, and the flooding is not predicted to go down any time soon. They have also predicted nearly 55 people have died, and as conditions make it increasingly harder to reach farming villages, they are afraid the number may only increase.
