This is a picture that Landon took as the typhoon was hitting Bacolod. He was on his way to Focus to check on the site and the people there. I don't know HOW he got around that tree, I guess up on the lawn? Kacey and I were freaking out that he was out in the storm :( About 12:30 pm last night we received a message that the storm was dying down, and they are safe. As of this morning (Friday), he's still at the site. The electricity is still out, and they are working to get it fixed. We haven't heard much more. I know as of right now, he has to be extremely tired, as he's only had about 3 hours sleep in 2+ days
More info below taken from the internet:
Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella said the city had been spared from greater damage that could have been caused by the storm. He said it was “unexplainable” that Yolanda seemed to have split around Bacolod contrary to earlier forecasts, which showed that the city was on the path of the storm’s full force.
“We have to be thankful for what can be described only as a miracle,” Puentevella said as he pointed out that City Hall had been preparing for massive evacuations since this is the first time in recent years that Bacolod had been placed under Storm Signal No. 4.
