Yeah, but the last big typhoon, Pablo hit us directly. The eye passed right over us. I think that one was signal 3 when it hit us. Those winds were scary and did some damage, but they didn't do as much damage to us as the more flood heavy Sendong.

I don't remember as much about Sendong. At that time I had yet to experience a serious typhoon and I didn't pay much attention to them. I didn't even realize we were in a typhoon. I just remember heavy rain which went on forever. Then when the morning came there was so much water outside our house it was nearly flooding inside. I don't remember winds being anything close to what Pablo stirred up. Looking at past charts, it appears that Sendong nearly hit us head on as well.

This time we are looking at signal 1, the lowest designation for typhoon winds. These winds should be a cakewalk compared to Pablo. The reports you posted seem to have upgraded Negros Oriental to a signal 2, but that appears to be for the Northern part of the province. The map linked below shows that a bit better. For example, Siquijor is at signal 1.

This storm will certainly jack up the Philippines, but I think we will be watching most of the carnage from the news rather than experiencing it firsthand. I think it will be a bit anticlimactic for us. The worst we are probably looking at is being without electric for a day or so.

After going through Pablo and Sendong, this one should be a walk in the park.

 

That said, I also remember the path for Pablo showing it going North of us. Then the thing turned and hit us head on. It's early still, anything could happen.

 

Here is the thread from Pablo.

http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/board/general-chat/next-typhoon-heading-way-11372.html

The predictions pointed North. The thing started going South. My "oh sh*t" moment was when Rhoody posted "it looks like it will almost hit us direct now." I think it hit us the next day. I suppose similar could happen here.

Interestingly, the auto updating maps on that thread are still auto updating. They all show Yolanda now.

 

I think we will all remember this one but want to forget..

Sea travel is risky over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and over the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon.

Residents in low lying and mountainous areas under signal #4, #3,#2 & #1 are alerted against possible flashfloods and landslides. Likewise, those living in coastal areas under signal #4, #3 and #2 are alerted against storm surges which may reach up to 7-meter wave height.

The public and the disaster risk reduction and management council concerned are advised to take appropriate actions and watch for the next bulletin to be issued at 5 AM tomorrow.

 

Looking at this trajectory this monster is staying a bit closer to that 10○ N line than is predicted this puts Cebu City, Daneo City, Toledo City, San Carlos City, Bacolod City, Bago City, Illoilo City within that Danger Zone. It needs to edge up or even better turn right..
I wish I could Ye Ye Ye come on God assistance required..
