Some here seem to get a real kick out of it, posting updates one after another, all of you have missed that the two that hit us almost directly, were at the end of the year, whereas now it's only early November, anything can still happen...
Sometimes it's better to just look out the window than stare the whole day at the computer screen...

 

For the ones that are not present at the location some more information about the happenings last night in Dumaguete City, there were NO strong winds, there were NO heavy rains and at the moment, 7:15AM, it's totally calm and no rain but heavy overcast at 26C°...

 

Well just maybe Simple you will find understanding tomorrow. When the aftermath of this storm will be clearer. If one person has taken note and will not be a victim good for me. I wish you well whatever kind of fine Sunny day you may have.. You take care as you are not quite out of the woods yet..
