IDK, CN. If God or Mother Nature managed to find, isolate and exclusively target an estimated 10,000 people who don't believe in Jesus (in one of the most Christian regions on the planet) that would truly be miraculous. Looks more like this is a natural disaster/tragedy on a massive scale than an evil miracle, to me.
Anyway, there is undoubtedly a lot of praying underway in the Philippines and for the Philippines as the typhoon damage continues to be assessed and hundreds of thousands are left struggling for basic needs as they bury or search for loved ones.
It's bleak - there are reportedly lots of dead bodies on land and in the water in the worst hit areas; relief agencies are concerned about the additional health risks that presents as survivors search for water and consume it from untested underground wells.
Roads, hospitals, electricity - all disabled in Leyte province, but operating on a limited basis today - 3 days after the storm first hit.
This morning, U.S. Marines arrived to assist in relief efforts.
The storm has moved towards Vietnam and 5 have reportedly been killed there.
