    In-Laws house is pretty fvcked after Typhoon Pablo

    I think the in-laws house is going to need a little remodel job. It is in better condition than a lot of the houses there or the ones that are left.

    Before you could not see the hillside due to all the coconut trees, now the trees are sparse and most of the crops are gone. Only positive thing is now you can see the Ocean from the house where before you couldn't due to all the trees but it was only a 2 minute walk.

    Yeah it was OK, not like US standards but not bad either.

    Yes the family made it OK. There are two small nephews who didnt make it and best anyone can figure got swept out to sea. The whole are was flooded for a while.

    There were some very nice houses in the area as well as a lot of little shacks but as you can see there is not much left. Most everyone has deserted the area for now. They are staying about 5hrs away by bus in the city until they think it's time to rebuild or???

    I think I/we are going to help them rebuild. The wife is funny though. She is not typical Asian/Filipino and will NOT give them money. Only time she has sent money home was to purchase some land for us. She told her parents the only way she/we will help is if we get the deed to the house but they can stay there or equivalent in other land they have. Greedy b*tch.

    Typhoon Bopha killed 647 people and caused crop damage worth 8.5 billion pesos ($210 million). the most intense storm to hit the Philippines this year wiped out about 90 percent of three coastal towns in Davao Oriental province and buried an entire town in neighboring Compostela Valley province under mud.

    We have property that is a stone throw away from these falls. This is a before and after. Not sure how it looks right now though. Also a school before and after.

    Somewhere I have pictures of me and the step daughter playing in the falls but I cant find them.

    See what tren does to you. lol Hell I have had a HIGH hairline since high school. Everyone use to tease me about going bald. Everyone who teased me was bald by our 10yr reunion and mine was the same. lol I just started using rogaine and nizoral less than 2 months ago so we will see if that helps.
