"But it was noted that the death toll could have been higher if Tuesday wasn't a new public holiday in the Philippines. At the time of the quake, schools and office buildings would normally have been filled. The national holiday is the Muslim holiday known as Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice), which commemorates the willingness of Abraham to follow Allah's (God's) command to sacrifice his son Ishmael."

"An immense, powerful cyclone that lashed the Indian coast (and inland), forcing 500,000 people to evacuate and causing widespread damage, weakened Sunday after making landfall. --- The storm, the strongest to hit India in more than a decade, washed away tens of thousands of mud and thatched roof huts and sent seawater surging inland. It had slowed significantly overnight, but meteorologists were calling for heavy rains across the state."
This church in India is affected by the cyclone:

I got a message and a prayer request; "because of sever cyclone and heavy rains, some of our Gospel Team members lost their homes and Church sheds. Please pray and remember them in Jesus our Lord".
