While on the face of it, there are faults on all sides, but Why can not commonsense come into play? It’s as though they are all playing. “Mine Is Bigger Than Yours” game Anyway, for what its worth, here it is.

Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan)

Worth keeping an eye on. Has the potential to develop by the looks of things. -

If anyone has a bit of time to donate to the survivors of Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan, there is a massive effort repacking food being held at the CICC (Cebu International Conference Center) across from Parkmall. Efforts are going on 24 hours a day, until further notice.
