    Thanks Coyotes and bold.and.beautiful for the links. I've added them to my collection. I'll trade anyone building a similar URL collection the following for Philippine severe weather:

    PAGASA - DOST - DOST SERVICE INSTITUTES

    PAGASA is the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration. There's a mouthful for you!

    Thanks Rhoody. I use the PAGASA site as well as:

    Japan Meteorological Agency

    which is the URL of the Japanese Meteorological Agency, and

    https://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc.php

    which is the US Navy's Joint Warning Ctr in Hawaii, The URL frequently does not come up. One of the major problems in the Pacific is the competition or perpetual "pissing contest" amongst the various national agencies over naming of the storms, which (all too) frequently change names as they cross reporting boundaries.

    The Eastern Pacific and the Atlantic have no such problems, since all the nations involved co-operate, even Cuba. The communist regime even tolerates overflight by US hurricane hunter aircraft without trying to shoot them down. Northerly Canada has a hurricane warning center which is active during the annual season.

    Went to PHIVOLCS this afternoon and they did give me information on the two earthquakes felt here on Wednesday and Thursday. Here goes: on Wednesday at 8:12 a.m. a magnitude 2.8 tremor/intensity 3 tremor was felt in Dumaguete, Valencia, Sibulan and a few other places. It was volcanic in origin, most likely from the Cuernos de Negros, close to the Mt. Talinis, an inactive volcano with no recorded eruption for the last 600 years. Today, Thursday, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake was recorded near Anda, Bohol, and was felt in Hibok-hibok, Camiguin (intensity 3), Cebu City and Jagna, Bohol (intensity2), and in Dumaguete City and Tagbilaran City, Bohol (intensity1). It's surprising these two tremors have not been reported yet to the USGS. :(
