Typhoon Yolanda hits the Philippines
The eye of Typhoon Yolanda passed about 70 north of us at noon today. It is classified as the strongest storm on earth for 2013. It is the strongest ever to hit the Philippines and from reports I saw the 4th strongest recorded in history. Reports that I just read said we had winds of about 60 MPH in our area. The winds were strong and the rains were heavy, but we didn’t have much damage to speak of. Several of our neighbors lost parts of their roofs. The winds were so strong that it broke the bulbs off at the sockets in 3 of our yard lights.
We have been without power since 10:00 AM. It is now 8:00 PM. Reports are that we will not get power back until tomorrow. We are fully powered with our generator. I will be turning it off when we go to bed though. We don’t have water either. Sky cable is down too, but we do have internet service.

Gary,
Bernadette looks lovely in her new red dress.
I hope you this finds you safe and out of harms way, while
weathering the latest typhoon.

Bernadette did purchase this dress.I have reposted the picture with the caption that Novie and Mirasol added when they posted it on Face Book. I just showed this caption to Bernadette and she Said “you better tell them I didn’t say that”. Her picture tells it all though.
I’m wearing my new dress…sexy right..
