Yep. We have a typhoon sweeping through the Philippines right now. Funny how I didn't hear a thing about it until it was here. Good thing it's only category 2. It's been raining non-stop since Thursday. Yesterday and today especially we have gotten some heavy winds. It passed just north of Cebu sometime last night and now it's heading northwest and is expected to reach category 3 soon.
Andrey is on the island of Bohol which is just southeast of Cebu for a work retreat. He was supposed to catch a ferry back today at 4pm but due to high winds they are cautioning people to stay put. There are a few ferries that will apparently make the 1-2 hour trip but only for brave passengers who will sign a liability waiver stating the trip is at their own risk. So yeah, the staff have decided to wait it out. Smart move.

Well, the first thing I have to say is: isn't there a better name than "Frank" for a Typhoon? It's like calling a heavy weight boxing champion Biff. Sounds a little off.
I hope Andrey made it home safely.
