Geez... these guys just got slammed like this in 2009, but a friend who's been in Manilla for several years said this is worse. I hope people can donate, and those closer to the devastated areas can help in other ways as well. With Philippines' building standards being relatively low, there's going to be a LOT of gutted houses and buildings (if they haven't been washed away), not to mention even more misplaced people.

Hang in there, people.

So in the Philippines, we see a month's worth of rain dumped in 48 hours, while half way around the world the mighty Mississippi River is literally drying up. There's a massive drought across most of the central United States. We are beginning to see a major shift in global weather patterns. What is even more disturbing is that this sort of weather might become permanent for the foreseeable future.
