UPDATE: It's 7:34 a.m. We just found our kids. Alexa went to the hospital but no one is hurt. It was the only place with electricity to charge her phone.

Alexa, Gian, his girlfriend, Yeza, and their newborn baby were alone at Yeza's house. They thought they were going to die. Scared and young, they used the remaining battery power of their cell phones to shine the light on their newborn baby.

Alexa's boyfriend, Rap Rap, returned to the house and transported Alexa to the hospital to charge her phone. Everyone is safe. No one is hurt. Of course we are crying...from relief and happiness.

Mia's brother lost his house. Her parents lost their farm and all their farm animals. The interior of their home was destroyed. But that's just stuff (besides the animals). We are so happy everyone is alive.

It's coincidental this time last year on almost the same day, October 23rd instead of October 20, I prepared to die with my family in the world's largest hurricane ever recorded in human history.

Hurricane Katrina was scheduled to sit over Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a few hours. It was predicted that no one would live. We only received a few drops of rain.

This was the day I first told Mia I loved her. I published that story less than one month ago on Steemit. You will find the link to that story below.

Thanks Steemit friends and fans and critics. Thanks for your continued support. Big hugs. Big love. I wished I could hug you all. Upvotes and donations are still needed. 100 percent of the rewards this post earns will be sent to the Philippines.
