I’m skeptical that the estimate of 10,000 is going to be high enough. Most of these communities that were wiped out, and that haven’t been accessed yet are on the coast, and are subsistence fishing communities.

Families there don’t have their own cars, for the most part. They get around by bus, jeepney or trikes. I doubt these places that appear to have been wiped out were completely evacuated.

I’m thinking the 10,000 estimate is way low.

THe India Times article had a storm surge going inward by 1 km. They have nothing over there and are still without communications. Someone flew over in a helicopter.

I read that the exact landfall is also still not sending word from anyone.

There is no way to stay where it’s the worst hit.

Given the fact the Philippines was essentially hit by a super-powerful cyclonic storm with the wind speed of an Enhanced Fujita scale EF4 tornado and a 15 foot storm surge of water, I fear a death toll of 30,000 or more....

It will be more like 125,000 imho
