The Devastation of Undoy ( Typhoon Ketsana)

SM not spared in the flood

At least the water here looked calm... and green!

But none of these images adequately convey the tragic loss of lives and the suffering cause by Typhoon Undoy.   It was so heartbreaking to listen to the radio, as I did, and hear people sending txt messages asking for help, worried about their loved ones.  Many people were trapped on the second floor or being rained on on the rooftop with no food and drinking water.  A man called, his voice breaking, as he asked that the children with him who were sick be rescued.

Some parts remained flooded and with no electricity as of this writing.

I hope and pray that those affected will recover immediately.
