defrog1. A tsunami sweeps over Samoa and American Samoa, killing at least a couple dozen people (and rising).
2. An earthquake off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia kills at least 75 (and rising).
3. Typhoon Ketsana kills over 300 in the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Most of them were in the Philippines. Manila was hit hard with flood waters, the worst in 40 years, after Ketsana dropped a month’s worth of rainfall in six hours.
Which is somewhat personal for me because a friend of mine is there now with her seven-year-old daughter. What’s worse, the only reason she’s there at all is because her mother died last week.
Still awaiting word. Hopefully just because the mobile network is still out.
