Greetings once more to my readers…

This is not a new chapter or story, but a message...which I will delete once it's purpose is accomplished.

As of 7 pm here in my side of the world, the Typhoon Ruby is coming towards the central part of Philippines, and I happen to be living in said area, namely in the Visayas region. This is pretty much like that of the Super Typhoon Yolanda, but thankfully if you can call it good news of course, that Typhoon Ruby is not as powerful as Yolanda, but that is up for debate...flooding is a high probability with the amount of rain it will bring so I have to accept the fact that flooding is a major possibility.

And right now...it will make landfall at 8 pm.

My family have made all the proper preparations, our home is reinforced, food supplies, medical supplies, water, batteries, and whatnot are stocked. Our evac site for me and my mother is set and ready for occupation and we will leave for that tomorrow as my Dad and our helpers will hold the fort in our home here. My Dad is a tough old man and I have faith that he will pull through, he survived Yolanda like we did, so he is ready.

I have already backed up all my files in portable drives, and plan to disassemble my PC and take it with me to the evac site and hopefully ride it out with my mother and those who we can help, including my aunt. Even if my province is not in the direct path of Typhoon Ruby, I will still treat this like I did Yolanda, we had enough time to prepare and I have prepared as best I can.

Once I post this, I will be working on watching the Typhoon and if...if the situation passes, I will post a follow up message on this one and give you all an update. This is not a trick by the way, the news for the past week have focused on this typhoon and no doubt your own TV news stations have reported it. So yeah, I will have to once more go off grid just like I did on Yolanda. I apologize profusely for this as I had planned to update all my Non Halo stories that I could before moving back to my Halo projects next year, but I cannot do much if I am badly injured or worse...

Well, best not to dwell on that, suffice to say no story update is worth my life or my family's.

Hope to send you a new message with good news soon.

Freedom Guard.
