“Lights were out and then the images started coming in. They were so horrific. In the span of 24 hours. I can still imagine them and I'm sad that we lost that website. Coconut trees were all flattened. Entire islands were wiped out. All inhabitants were killed. You couldn't contact anyone. There was no local government, no police, no activists in the area. Even the activists died. Of course they're not immune to the typhoon. And then just bodies. You started seeing bodies lined up along the street. It's so bad. It’s like Hurricane Katrina, but it's worse in a Third World country where life is always so cheap, especially if you're poor. And then you see the evacuation centers. It's the same old story because this is the third time we've done it. Destruction everywhere. We had an elderly member who was about to go home. Of course, she bought land. She built a house for herself complete with her appliances and amenities. Her life's work as a domestic worker was wiped out. She just sank, “how am I gonna go home. I have to keep working.” Yeah, she has to keep working to help her family rebuild.”
