Use your trusty druid Wake of Karana...always makes for a nice sunny day for me


I woke up once and the room was dark. So I was fumbling around trying to find my DE Mask Clickie so I could illusion dark elf and see in the dark. After a bit, I finally realized I was IRL and not in game.

Just heard its topping 195mph, 315km/h, scary stuff.  Where do you even go to stay safe out of that?

cnn decided to put hannah montana stories on hold for a few minutes this morning, and report the super typhoon in the Philippines. They said the death toll exceeds 1200, and the damage was catastrophic. I hope you're safe and doing well.

Thanks for all the replies, and hello Secrets Smiley

The power just came back on now, was out for 3 days. The electric company turned off the power before the storm arrived.

We barely missed the Super Typhoon, veered just north of where we live. The unfortunately part is those 195 mph winds that hit just 50-100 miles north of us is where we get our power from, so there was mess to clean up, and yes I heard over local radio over 1000 dead, and many more now in desperate need of food/water.

I have ton of email in my inbox to get through, so hopefully I'll get chance to reply them all within the next 1 day.

Some news reports saying this was most powerful Typhoon in history to hit land.

Other news reports saying death toll likely to reach over 10,000.

I was located just on the outside of the storm, probably 40-60 mph wind.

Reminded me of the movie Karate Kid II

Good to see you and family are okay Hunter
We all have seen how bad it was other there, worst one to hit land

We thought it would be awhile before you got power and comms back up
TBH i thought it would have been longer, seeing all the damage it caused
Hats off to the service providers

Stay safe, and hopefully no more natural disasters
I guess your still recovering from the Earthquakes

Yes, many people were homeless from the 7.2 earthquake, and had no where to hide from the Typhoon, except maybe in the schools.

I just got word that our power is only for 4 hours, then will turn off. We're getting electric from some different source that is rotating towns right now. The main location that supplies our electric got hit the hardest, as you can see from the videos. Might be a week before they get power up and running regularly. So I'm really hoping its not true, that we're going to lose power again due to rotating towns. Will find out, expecting power to turn off again here.

Read on one website that "Temporarily switch the 'Bohol Diesel Power Pant' for lack of electricity supply", and that the main power company could take 2 months to get fully restored. Our main power plant suffered 90% damage.

This is gonna suck Sad

Thank you for posting updates Hunter.  Sounds like it's going to take a long time to recover from the devastation.  The storm is front page news around the world.   I hope you and your family are doing well.

Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." R.A. Heinlein
