"Storm Leaves Dozens Dead in Philippines"
One of the worst floods in years destroyed the Philippines on Friday evening. At least 83 people were killed and dozens are still missing. Many people died in a landslide in Razal, one of the worst hit areas. The storm enveloped 80 percent of Manila and 300,000 people were brought to schools, gymnasiums and public parks. -NY Times, CARLOS H. CONDE-

Oh my goodness, that is terribly traumatic. My dad, brother, and sister took a trip to work with an orphanage in the Phillipines in 1999, and even though I was only 10 when they went, through the photos and videos I felt a part of their trip. And I am actually friends with a girl who had previously been in the orphanage, and then was adopted by a New Zealand family.
This is so sad :(
