    No....I've not had any phone call.........wish I had.
    Bohol is having trouble getting power back.
    They still hadn't restored all such uitilities since the earthquake.
    We've had no contact from our family members in Bohol.

    I`m back!! For about another hour and then they turn off the power again..
    Boheco electric company run our sector but all the power comes from..You guessed it.. Leyte!
    We are borrowing power from Bohol light at the moment but only 4 hours a day..
    No generators left to buy anywhere..Even in Cebu..Sold out.
    I managed to get hold of a 1,200 watt power Inverter that I hook up to my car to run electric fans,the T.V and lights and perhaps the internet whilst there is a signal..
    Bit of a nightmare as my 74 year old mother is arriving tomorrow after a year long plan to visit.. Headache or what!!
    Still.. Its a minor inconvenience in comparison to what those in Leyte have experienced..
    The typhoon was not an issue here on Panglao and no more than a signal number 2..
    The "Typhoon" we are experiencing today is pretty much a mild tropical storm in our area..A lot more serious in Tacloban as it hampers the aid getting in I suspect..
    Cheers,
    Fred.

    The biggest problem Peter is when the power goes off the water stops.. The local fire department are filling up the locals buckets and bottles..
    Hopefully now that we have 4 hours a day of power,it will give us enough time to collect water..
    Another problem has been supplies of purified water.. Hopefully that will all start to get back to normal soon..

    I've been watching the parents who lost their 3 children, sweep from their dad's arms http://edition.cnn.com/video/data/2....aiyan.cnn.html

    I must of been confusing with the time of the quake Bohol took.

    Glad that Fred and Brian are safe. Hoping the other members' relatives and families in the Visayas region are all safe too.

    Relieved that all is well for all you folks on Bohol and that you and the family are all safe.
    I'd guessed it was a power issue.
