10:40 AM, Friday 8 November 2011 Typhoon Yolanda (Hiuyan) made its 4th landfall in the Philippines on Bantayan Island. Most of the residents sheltered in place as there is no way to get off the island once ferry service ceases.
We did not get word from Madridejos on the northern tip of Bantayan Island until 01:15 Sunday morning. The good news is that our family on the island is alright. The bad news is that Madridejos and the entirety of Bantayan Island has been hit very hard. So far there is a report of 3 deaths in Madridejos....
