[GEO.TV] The corpse count from Severe Tropical Storm Bualoi rose to 11 in the Philippines on Saturday as the cyclone bore down on Vietnam, authorities said.
Bualoi battered small islands in the centre of the Philippines on Friday, toppling trees and power pylons, ripping roofs off homes, unleashing floods and forcing 400,000 people to evacuate.
Among the worst hit was the tiny island of Biliran, where eight people died and two are missing, provincial disaster official Noel Lungay told AFP by telephone.
"There was widespread flooding and some roads remained under water early today," he said.
"Evacuees are starting to return to their homes as the weather improves," he added.
The office of civil defence in Manila earlier reported three other deaths on the nearby islands of Masbate and Ticao, including two people crushed by a tree and a wall that were brought down by the strong winds.
Fourteen people remain missing across the central Philippines, it said without providing details, while more than 200,000 remained inside evacuation centres across the storm's path.
Bualoi came on the heels of Super Typhoon Ragasa which killed 14 people across the northern Philippines.
Bualoi was tearing across the South China Sea on Saturday at typhoon strength of 120 kilometres (75 miles) an hour, the Philippines' state weather service said.
It was forecast to be off the coast of central Vietnam by Sunday afternoon.

[Regnum] A two-meter asteroid flew close to Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km on September 24. This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"On Wednesday, September 24, a small asteroid named 2025 SU4, with a diameter of two meters, flew very close to the planet, passing at 11:30 a.m. Moscow time at a distance of just over 20,000 km (approximately at the altitude of GLONASS and GPS satellites)," reads a statement published on the laboratory's Telegram channel. "It was the size of a large Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator/freezer"
The asteroid was discovered less than a day before its closest approach to Earth. The publication stated that it posed no threat due to its small size.
Scientists noted that the object was classified as belonging to the Aten family. Currently, this family includes approximately 3,000 celestial bodies, of which approximately 200 are classified as potentially hazardous asteroids.
In December 2024, astronomers at the ATLAS observatory in Chile discovered asteroid 2024 YR4. They estimated the asteroid's diameter to be between 40 and 90 meters, making it similar in size to the Tunguska meteorite. NASA initially estimated the probability of a collision between Earth and this celestial body to be within 1%; on February 7, 2025, the agency reported that this figure had risen to 2.3%.

2 meters = 6.5 ft.
Smaller than a 1960's VW Bug.
What is a 'city killer' asteroid?
Example: Asteroid 2024 YR4 was estimated to measure between 174-220 feet, about the size of a 10-story building, according to NASA and the ESA.
[FoxNews] Pilots reflect on air rescues and supply drop-offs one year since Helene
Helene took out cell service, electricity, and water in the region. Leaving Carolinians with no communication for help. Within the first few days, small craft airplanes and helicopters were essential for rescues and donation drops.
It's been one year since Helene devastated parts of the region in Western North Carolina and some of the first eyes-in-the-sky are reflecting on the devastation that followed.
Without cell service and washed-out roads, hundreds of people were left stranded in the mountains.
Al Mattress, a helicopter pilot with a commercial flight company, Total Flight Solutions, said he received an early morning call from one of the company's clients. The client asked them to check on a family member in western North Carolina.
Mattress says he got up in the air as quickly as he could. He was one of the first to see what was actually going on in the region.
"Watching it unfold, ya know, this water was still rising," Mattress tells FOX. "I had gotten there personally, literally, right after the storm left."
Mattress did a couple missions checking on loved ones and realized the destruction was worse than anyone thought. Back on the ground was Total Flight Solutions helicopter pilot, Tim Grant. Grant laid out the logistics for dozens of pilots in the coming weeks as missions switched from rescues to donation drops.
With support from the United Cajun Navy, Grant says they brought in nearly every helicopter they could. Everyone donated their time, effort and resources to immediately rescue people, or drop off essentials like medicine.
Mattress talked to FOX about the reactions and conversations he had with some of the people he rescued.
"No phones, ya know the phone they have, it's till the battery goes dead. They don’t know. They can’t call, they don’t know anybody is coming for them."
"When they [the pilots] would get done with their mission, they would climb high enough to find a cell phone tower that was outside, make a radio call and say, ‘hey, this is where I am, I picked up these people, and they’re OK,’" says Grant.
Grant's team of volunteer pilots did 25 rescues the first day and 30 the second day after Helene. "But we did well over 100 missions, just dropping off food and supplies," he says.
Volunteer pilots were working from sunup to sundown. Grant says pilots would debrief at the end of the day for about an hour before they called it a night.
One story stood out to Grant the most: "He [a pilot doing a rescue] went to go pick up some people, and he could see arms sticking out from the mudslides that had gone over."
Also doing missions, but just dropping off supplies — was South Carolinian, Austin Lane. He heard about a group on Facebook, Carolina Aviators Network, putting together a group of pilot volunteers to get donations closer to the mountains.
Lane flies a 1960s Baron twin-engine plane with a 1,000-pound load capacity, allowing him to fly a little further than other planes volunteering.
"Delivered diapers for people with newborn babies or delivered canned goods or dietary restrictions and insulin," Lane says.
Looking back, Lane is amazed at the organization of the donation sites he landed on. He says it only took minutes for volunteers at local airports to load his plane with supplies.
"It was one of the very few that could get further out. So we were doing 6 to 8 trips a day," he says.
Grant reflects on the overall experience, "The people that donated their supplies, their people, their helicopters, whatever it was…that was the best part."
Roads began to clear with help from the North Carolina National Guard and other volunteers. This allowed more volunteers and nonprofit organizations to get further into the hardest hit regions.
The NCNG tells FOX there were 869 air rescues, with 165 of them being complex hoist rescues. In an email to FOX, "A complex hoist rescue is when a helicopter crew uses a hoist to lift people from dangerous or hard-to-reach places during a disaster or emergency, and the situation is harder than a normal rescue."
Overall, the NCNG says South Carolina, Maryland, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Minnesota, Iowa, New York, and Pennsylvania provided aircraft. The Army Helicopters used 21 CH-47 Chinooks, 7 UH-60 Blackhawks, 4 UH-72 Lakotas for a total of 32 helicopters.
The NCNG also rescued 226 pets, dropped off 3,638 food pallets and brought in 1,877 tons of cargo by air.

Biden's, Liberal Socialist-Democrat run FEMA and Federal Agencies acted like a bunch of hooligan political Hacks in helping only certain PC areas and avoiding others due to politics.
10 days later, many emergency access roads were still not cleared.
Then FEMA and other agencies started ARRESTING resourceful residents, for clearing their roadways to help older and overlooked neighbors.
We have family in the Franklin/ Hayesville, WNC area along US64.
It took some gray hat creativity to get stuff to them, even almost 2 weeks into this (insert Clint Eastwood phrase) of FEMA mess.
Then we started hearing words that the Biden Fed and Democrat State authorities were considering ceasing certain areas and making them restricted access Federal property.
All of those Fed / State A-holes should be fired and brought up on charges for their criminal actions.
[Federalist] Left-wing politics have utterly destroyed the once-respected nation of Great Britain. And now, its elites are seeking to subsidize these same destructive ideologies throughout the United States.
On Wednesday, the good government group Americans for Public Trust (APT) released a bombshell report unearthing the extensive financial activity of British billionaire Christopher Hohn in U.S. political causes. Through the use of his nonprofit, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Hohn has "funneled over $553 million into U.S. organizations from 2014 through 2023 to bankroll advocacy campaigns and push a radical green energy agenda," according to the analysis.
It’s fascinating to see the unravelling of these elaborate Progressive plots to rewrite the American Project. Has Mr. Hohn done the same with his home country, or is only America worth that kind of investment to him?
"The American people are overwhelmingly opposed to and alarmed by foreign influence shaping our politics," APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland said in a statement. "If these radical foreign billionaires are allowed to funnel money into our political system virtually unchecked, there’s nothing stopping foreign adversaries from doing the same."
The APT report focuses on numerous subject areas touched by Hohn’s foreign dark-money influence, including radical environmentalism.
Per the analysis, the British billionaire is "one of the largest disclosed individual donors to date to the global organization Extinction Rebellion, or XR," which APT describes as an "international collective founded in 2018 ... [that is] behind a series of mob-style protests across the globe." These demonstrations, according to the report, aim to "’halt mass extinction’ and ’minimize the risk of social collapse’ [XR] perceives as tied to climate change."
"XR’s American affiliate has called for ’rebellion against the U.S. government for its criminal inaction on the ecological crisis,’ and in 2019, claimed that its volunteers had ’seized’ over twenty intersections in Washington, D.C. during a protest," the report reads, noting additional arrests in D.C. and New York City during prior XR protests. "Despite these hyperbolic claims — and the optics of a foreign citizen supporting a group calling for an insurrection against the U.S. government — Hohn gave XR at least $65,000 from his personal fortune, and another, separate contribution via CIFF, totaling nearly $200,000."
[ZERO] The FBI deployed nearly 300 plainclothes agents to the US Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, in an effort that became so chaotic it caused an internal schism within the agency that led many rank-and-file at the bureau that core competencies had been lost to "wokeness," and that employees had become "pawns in a political war," according to an after-action report hidden from the public for over four years until it was obtained by Just the News.
Anonymous complaints were sent to the after-action team by scores of FBI agents and other personnel - many from the bureau's premier Washington field office (WFO) - detailing how agents were sent into a dangerous situation without proper safety equipment or even the ability to identify themselves as armed officers to other police agencies.
Most common among the complaints was that under former directors Chris Wray and just-indicted James Comey, the bureau had become infected with political bias and liberal ideology that treated the Trump-supporting Jan. 6 protesters much differently from Black Lives Matter rioters from the summer of 2020.
"The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously," wrote one employee. "It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders' perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations."
The agent suggested that leaders "identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias."
Another agent suggested that the problem was widespread throughout the FBI.
"Currently, the US Attorneys office is dictating what it is that gets investigated. This is a dangerous precedent because we can barely get them to prosecute investigations that clearly meet thresholds needed for Federal prosecutions," the agent wrote. "However, their willingness to conduct a search warrant on someone's life for a misdemeanor seems ridiculous. It is unreasonable for the FBI to conduct investigations involving misdemeanor violations at a federal level... it is not our role."
No numbers provided on possible OGA (Other Gov't Agency) detailees, recruited assets or contract hires.

Once again the Conspiracy Theorists were the real reporters of facts, not the Coup's, Fed's & Liberal MSM controlled propaganda arm.
Now, that the FACT, that a collection of rouge FBI steered protesters into committing unintended crimes, has been laid out.
The DC Swamp, DOJ and other Federal staff are looking at a lot of Criminal charges.
Sounds like the Biden/(LSD) and Coup attempted leaders used pages from the history books of the USSR, Venezuela and others. Given the Fabricated arrests, abusive / vindictive, politically steered prosecutions by the DOJ and treatment of those jailed years WITHOUT Trial.

Subpoena 274 FD-302 forms and then their testimony. Much of this would have been Brady material for J6 trials. Charge anyone from the government who stated that there were no Feds in a J6 trial.

On X, Matt Strickland pointed out in four years not one of the 300 came forward. They all sold out their country for a paycheck.
1)"Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards," Patel told Fox News Digital. "This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened."
2)"It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday afternoon following a report from The Blaze, revealing the number of agents that were there.
Trump added, "This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’"
The president said he wanted to know each officer’s identity and what they were doing at the U.S. Capitol.
[Fox News, h/t Red State] The drone is designed to work independently or alongside combat aircraft like the F-35 Lightning, also made by Lockheed.
The aircraft is capable of executing precision strikes, ISR targeting, electronic warfare and offensive and defensive counter air missions, the defense company said. The division leading the development of the combat drone is charting a new path to rapidly create new, advanced technologies that work seamlessly together at a competitive price point.
