I asked my cleaning lady to disinfect my buckets and remove all things in my yard and utility area that could be blown off by 212 kph winds.

According to some meteorologists that I follow, it is unfortunate that there are two high pressure areas that are pushing down the super typhoon further southwards. Landfall is now likely to be at Baler, Aurora instead of Tuguegarao. It means Central Luzon will be a direct hit, Metro Manila will sustain huge damage. If NCR is paralyzed, the whole country stops.

What happened to Cebu during Typhoon Tino was basically a man-made disaster waiting to happen. Mountains were denuded and there are too many mining activities in the area that loosened soil. Cebu can’t absorb that amount of rainfall.

We’re blessed that our mountain is a protected area so the rainforest is there to absorb that rainfall. The question is, how much can it absorb? Like 200mm of rainfall for hours?
