On November 7th, Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines, and has continued to wreak devastation across the Philippines, Micronesia and Palau since. Official death counts are around 1,800, with estimated death tolls reaching into the tens of thousands.

Our thoughts are with the many millions of people affected by this horrendous disaster and, while there's not much we can do aside from asking you to donate to the Red Cross as they help those affected, we certainly hope that the Philippines, Palau and Micronesia and everyone touched by Typhoon Haiyan make the speediest recovery possible.

(NB: As the Philippines are the hardest-hit, we've replaced our wordmark with the Filipino flag, but that doesn't mean that their recovery and well-being is necessarily more important than the other nations affected.)
