Over the past week, I've watched in horror as the biggest typhoon ever hit the Philippines.
Super Typhoon Haiyan has caused much devastation. It leveled houses, reduced buildings to rubble, farmland and livestock is basically gone. And the people...oh my God...families, friends, loved ones all strewn about. In just one area there are thousands missing, dead or displaced from their homes. (Click here to view images of destruction.)
I don't believe any of my family in the Philippines was too affected from the reports I have seen and heard so far, and for that I am truly grateful. But with most communication out, it is still hard to tell. This typhoon blanketed the whole nation, that's how huge it was. And in the city of Tacloban, in the province of Leyte, everything seems to have been destroyed.
I am speechless. I haven't seen this much devastation since Hurricane Katrina in the U.S.. And even that I don't think was anywhere near this bad. Plus, there's another storm, Zoraida, coming in and ready to sweep up any vestiges of recovery. Lord help them!
The people of the Philippines will need help from everyone. I am imploring all of my readers for help. Please, please help! My God.
