Typhoon hits

A typhoon hit the city of DaNang on Sunday (our Saturday). DaNang is in central Vietnam, on the coast and is the fourth largest city. Major evacuations did take place prior to the storm. It has been a worrisome weekend, because one of the orphanages is located in DaNang, about a mile inland. We eventually heard that all the babies and children were safely evacuated to a local hospital. Extensive damage was done to the orphanage. The roof was blown off, screens in the window ripped out, pots holding all the plants in the garden were shattered, TV ripped from the wall, and the doors blown off the hinges. We can all praise the Lord that those children were not there.
