Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the Philippines on November 7, 2013. It had winds that were stronger than Hurricane Sandy and Katrina combined. I was there before, during and stayed to help with relief. Along the way, I met my friend, Ian, who was doing the same thing. In reflection of the disasters that have happened lately, I thought this was over-due. These are reflection stories about the people that we met along the way. Good/Bad/Ugly- all of them were trying to survive in the way that they knew how. Click if you want to see pictures, or read more and more and more.
