My mom mentioned this to me yesterday. I did not know it would be this bad. Prayers up for all my relatives and all our friends in the village.

Dvorak pressure estimate at 862 mb. That’s lower than Tip’s 870 mb.

Looks like there will be an astounding loss of life with this storm.

Pray that I’m wrong.

First an earthquake, now a huge typhoon - I’ll take my chances in the USA, not on a island.

The Philippines have been getting these storms for a long time. They’ll handle it like they always do.

And they had three days warning that at least a Cat 4 would be coming through the area. I imagine the evacations will be fairly thorough. But there will be little left in the impacted areas.
