We are okay

 the typhoon went north of here, so we had very very heavy rains all night but the wind was not bad: Even the banana trees are still standing (two fell in the last typhoon). I haven't been outside to see if the streets are flooded. This morning I woke up with the dawn: The sun is shining and it is partly cloudy.

So we survived another typhoon. Later this morning Kuya will check if it destroyed the remaining rice left that hasn't been harvested yet, and if the packed rice is okay and not wet.

....however, the cook says a lot of the Christmas lights and decorations in the Plaza nearby were blown down. Sigh.

News about the rice farmers was bad;
