OK I thought they might chime in, but i spoke today to Donald. All of our missing lambs in the Phillipines are safe and sound. He spoke with Eddie and the others and all are well. It is now very late there, so I assume all of them are in bed. so I am positive in several hours they will be here!!! :cheers:

Here in the Philippines Average rise in sea levels were about 0.3 - 0.4 meters. We dodged this one! It's fortunate for us that we are parallel to the direction of the waves and not perpendicular. Thank God!
Hopefully no other members are affected by this tragic and devastating disaster.
I want to thank HC and all the members for the concern, I consider MTO member like the wierd uncle/aunt who I may not see or talk to very much but I know cares for me as do I care for them. God Bless everybody.
Multitools are the best thing that happened to mankind since the invention of the wheel!

Very scary indeed! I can't imagine if it happened at night, when people are sleeping.
We're all ok here. Thanks for the thought, guys! :)

If you look at footage of the explosion, it's a big one, but doesn't appear to have been a nuclear blast.  If it was, it would have been a LOT bigger.  My guess is that failsafes have kicked in and kept it from being a much worse disaster than it already is.



There's still the necessity of containing any hazardous materials before they contaminate the surrounding area, but I think we can be thankful that it's probably not as bad as it could have been.

I hope our good buddy Yokomode is ok!
