UPDATE: It's 4:02 a.m. Central which means it's 5:00 p.m. in the Philippines. Gian's phone is ringing but there is no answer. It was not ringing earlier. According to everything I have researched online, there have been no deaths reported in their city. The storm is over. Can't sleep. Fingers crossed. Feeling hopeful.

UPDATE: It's 4:08 a.m. We just heard from Mia's parents. Mia's family weathered the storm in their basement so nobody is hurt. All their farm animals are dead. Their house is still standing but the typhoon ripped through the interior of the home. Everything is destroyed.
