Thread: Breaking News: Major Typhoon Heading for MNL

Just consider the Philippines after this event to be in serious dires straights. Yes, they will survive the majority, but its something like falling down. The pain is felt not then and there but after the next few days. They will rejoice upon being alive, but when they come out and look around, BAM! It's not like they don't experience typhoons ever, they get more typhoons per year than you can count on two hands. It's just that whenever you have 300 MPH winds and gusting above that, its impossible to assume there will be heavy damage. More like A DISASTER MULTIPLIED like you never seen before. Consider the average person in Philippines lives in shacks. Yes, SHACKS. No way those shacks can sustain that kind of punishment. I suspect you will see the U.S. Army, some major charity drives, much like the TSUNAMI that hit the Indian Ocean a few years back all over the Philippines after this one. Just plain bad news for anything in its path. This is the biggest recorded wind speeds in a Typhoon ever, and all born and bred in TYPHOON ALLEY. The Devil himself made it to the Philippines this November.

I saw the damage on Guam after PAKA hit in 1997 or 98. It looked like a nuke hit the joint. All the trees had their leaves gone, as though they dropped their leaves for winter, which in Guam, there is no WINTER. Only thing dropping leaves there are heavy winds packing more than a category 2 or 3 typhoon. This YOLANDA typhoon in Philippines will go beyond a category 5. It broke the meter on this one. YOLANDA is the name called by the Philippines. NOAA is calling it HAIYAN.

Yup, it looks pretty much like I expected. Bad bad news for sure. 1200 deaths and counting. Just hit one island after another. Leyte, Samar, Negros, Bihol, Boracay, Palwan and more. 100 bodies floating in Tacloban City on the streets. Luckily, the Manlia area, got spared. But bad weather is always news year after year including Manila, that suffers alot of typhoons, and heavy flooding rains. They Typhoons claim their dues in souls.
