Most of you probably dont know this but My wife and i have relatives there.
We also own a house and a sizeable chunk of land.
We still havent heard anything comfirming any missing or injured family members.
the wife and I are very concerned.
After finding out the path the storm took It pretty much over our house and property there.
I hope to god they hunkered down in my house since I had it built to withstand a sizeable storm. (reinforced concrete with storm shelter).
anyone feels the need to donate here is an address to find out where your local pickup areas are for food and clothes etc.
PLz call the philippine american assoc. for info on where to send food/ clothing donations to the Philippines.

On CNN, they said the city of Tacloban was the hardest hit area. Where are your relatives and house located?

That really is a horrible situation and it's got to be nerve-wracking.
