It is about gone, went out across Subic.
Power was off about an hour. Water didn't get in the house.
Then the WiFi is down, I have both land and WiFi.
Guess those Tin Cans are hard to ride in a storm. I have a Capt. Lic.

I am a qualified coxswine on a 36' resque boat , a LCM, a LCVP, a 26' whale boat, and a26" liberty launch. But i can't drive a 10' pram with an electric motor here in NJ as I dont have a motor boat operators licence from the state of NJ. I did have a motor boat operators licence but this is a new operators licence that thay came up with . But I am not going to get that test for $50 .

Glad everything turned out okay. That would be scary to go through.

Right now we have three more storms coming this week.
Where we live we are OK. I put in a well (hand pump) for water to wash with and drink with if we have to. I ordered 50 more gal's. of drinking water for this morning and I had 35 already.
I'll pickup the last few thing we need from the store this morning and I have extra propane to cook with for a month.
The flooding is because the Filipino's refuse to put their trash in a pickup place, they throw it in the creeks, rivers and ditches then they stop up when it rains.
There is no law here because there is no law enforcement. This is the most corrupt country in Asia and 141 in the world.
Your Mind Can Not Conceive the Third World!!!
you have nothing to compare it too.

That is awful Burr. Isn't that unhealthy to drop trash everywhere? I am sure you have your paradise as well, or you wouldn't live there.

As I said, no law enforcement.
I am comfortable and happy. I do my thing.
