Very close. She's in a city called Iloilo. But I would imagine that being there within a few hundred miles of the damn eye the skies must be black for the next few days. I have not been able to get in touch with her through phone so I guess I'll trust that my 60 year old mother will check her Facebook

Finally heard from my mom who was able to flee the middle islands and go north to the capital. She said she barely made it before travel routes closed. She says it's still utter chaos even where she is. She is being told that there are over 2k deaths so far but I'm sure it will be more than that as the bodies are recovered.

Vietnam is next and I have a feeling there will be twice as many casualties there.

That's terrible.

 

I have been through 4 hurricanes, and stayed "on island" for them.  Sustained 80 mph winds are nuts, I can't imagine that what they are dealing with.

 

Utter chaos.

 

 

Indeed.  I was in Myrtle Beach during Hugo, and the highest winds here were in the 80's, except for some gusts that got a little higher, but even that was nuts....all the pine trees bending to the point you just knew they were going to break, but most somehow survived.

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
