#1 My in-laws live in Manila (Philippines). They had to evacuate their home and the water is up to one's chest. Some of their neighbors simply can't evac out - no place to go. So they are essentually living on the roofs of their sheet-metal homes - some are dirt poor and simply have no place to so and the government simply doesn't have the capacity to help (due to corruption).

And they got another super-typhoon on the way.

Its simply awesome to see the U.S. Military over there willing and able to give whatever assistance it can.

#3 Typhoon Meleor = NWS #20W appears to be moving away from Guam, heading 80 miles north of Saipan in the CNMI. Its mostly cool or sunny outside as interrupted by isolated, strong brief gusts of wind + rain.

Too bad the USAF canceled their scheduled air show.

IMO Guam received more rain + wind from 18W + prior smaller disturbances.

#6 The hat looks like a futuristic Star Trek version of hijab.
