That typhoon in the Philippines, Typhoon Ondoy (or Ketsana), just wow. It was sad enough to know that hundreds of people died of it. Seeing people on the roofs, with no food, was bad. So was seeing elderly, children, and the injured struggling. But I saw some photos, and I just fell apart. People mourning dead relatives, dead family members found in the mud, in a tight embrace, that just struck home. Then to see pictures of a man who started drowning in the waters, just... I don't know. Plus the fact that a very close family friend and his family is in the typhoon-stricken area, it really makes you worry. Now that it's said that another typhoon will strike, and to see that the people are barely surviving, all I can do is pray, pray that they will survive, pray that life for them after this tragedy can start to look brighter.
To all those who read this, please help in some way. Donate goods, there are many drop-off stations internationally. Donate money to UNICEF. If you can't do something, then at the very least, pray for them, if you are religious.

behindinfinity's journal, there is information about how you can help, as well as some pictures of how greatly the typhoon affected the area (some of them are hard to see). If you want to see, then here's a link to his journal:
