Typhoon Milenyo Lashes Philippines This morning I got a call Joe (the head of our Workshop) claiming that that tropical tyhpoon "Milenyo" (speed rate of 130km/h wind) has hit Philippines and that Luzon is under the state of calamity. Roofs and tress are flying everywhere and heavy raining flooded the region of Luzon. All flights have been cancelled too. I felt relieved when he confirmed that none of our sewers were affected. Other than the fact that he needed to put 2 pails and one basin in the middle of the Workshop to catch the raindrops dripping inside, otherwise everything is fine. The bad news though (he saved me the best for last of course), there was power interruption claiming that 60% of Philippines has been deprived of electricity due to typhoon Milenyo. In other words there wont be any output for today. I told him that they better take advantage of this day instead as an unattended restday. Well he said that all the sewers were there chatting and waiting for the electricity in case it will come. He he i would admit I missed those days of "brownouts" in Philippines for its very rare they have it in France. Comments po lolle!
