Typhoon damage

 we are already busy cleaning up

here is a video on youtube about the damage to our Plaza: the Christmas tree was blown over as were some trees and part of the food kiosks ..............

here's another video from the bridge near our town;

the town is cleaning up: a lot of the debris and broken tree limbs have been removed from the streets, and many people have replaced their roofs with new tin roofs or temporary ply wood protection.

Kuya is busy trying to salvage the rice that was blown flat by the winds and repairing the damage to the bodega etc. at the farm.

there are still debris in our front yard, but the fallen banana trees have been removed.

we are still on the water pump, so I guess city water is still low pressure, but the internet and electricity are back.

The bad news? The cable to the modem in my room was cut when the roof (actually the skylight part of the roof) blew off. Since the business wifi reach here I'm able to blog again in my room, at lower bandwidth unless I sit in the living room.

But it's hard to sit in the living room because our female dog is in heat and has been hiding under the rattan chairs while the male dogs fight over her on and off.
