Sonia and Michael Weaver said their kids home in Leyte somehow escaped damage. But communities around them were devastated.
The couple saw firsthand the death toll in hard hit areas near Tacloban. A sight still hard to believe for them.

Michael said he doesn't usually fear, but he was afraid.
"Dead bodies, people all over the place," he said. "The odor was awful."
The Weavers said they will never forget the desperation -- from the lives lost to the flattened communities.
While they are happy to be back in the Bay Area, the Weavers worry for the thousands of people in the Philippines who are now facing an uncertain future.
