Yes, and factory damage could affect K-3 availability (as with the recent earthquake thread, also in this board). It didn't get a direct hit but Cebu City is apparently without electric power at the moment so Pentax production on the nearby island will probably be affected anyway - not good for the Christmas markets unless the stock is already manufactured and shipped.
But yes, our main concern should rightly be with the destruction that must have occurred especially a few dozen miles further north where the eyewall struck and our thoughts are I am sure with the millions of people affected.
No problem if the mods want to move it though (and they should if so move the earthquake thread as well).
