Dear Friends and Family,
Metro Manila was hit by a major typhoon that has caused the worst flood in the history of Manila according to news reports. Koko's house (to left) is under water as well as other families. Please keep them in prayer.
Nearly a month's worth of rain fell in just six hours in the capital
At least forty people have been killed and thousands evacuated as floods caused by heavy rain brought chaos to the Philippines.
One town is said to be completely under water. Power has been cut off to parts of the capital, Manila, where hundreds of people are trapped on rooftops.
The government has declared a calamity, allowing access to emergency funds.
Television pictures showed water flowing down roads like rivers, with the floods chest-deep and rising.
The equivalent of a whole month's rain fell over six hours, as Tropical Storm Ketsana lashed the archipelago, causing the worst flooding in Manila for 20 years. 
Koko's car is to the left. As this was posted, in just minutes, the reported death toll increased from 5 to 40.

Please pray for our hurting brothers and sisters...
