Update on Typhoon Mirinae

As some of you are likely to be aware, another typhoon hit Manila overnight. We were fortunate to be able to leave before it arrived, but it was very cloudy when we left and we were worried for our friends.

We have just got off a skype call to Sikap where HOM has it's main church and office. A lot of Manila had lost power including Sikap and Sally's home, but the power came back on when we were online so we were able to talk.

The main church area had flooded once again and the team had just finished cleaning it up. We spoke about a couple of options to try and help with the flooding of the church area when we were out there so hopefully we will be able to do something soon.

We are aware that some homes in Florante have had their roofs damaged, as the typhoon this time came with strong winds (Ondoy just dumped a load of rain on Manila, but had relatively light winds). Sally and Joey will tour the communities tomorrow after the main service and see what other damage has been caused.
