Windows are blowing hard now, though its yet to hit our area by Sunday.

First big storm of the year. The Philippines expects an average of 19 typhoons yearly.

Damn, Stay safe.

I would be getting my butt out fast!!!!

So far, 8 reported casualties. I just hope our worst fear is over.

"They were among the eight people killed in the path of the storm, which slammed across the central parts of the country yesterday, sinking at least three boats, causing landslides and flash floods, triggering power blackouts and destroying dozens of houses."

Pussy!

j/k have a safe trip.

I dont understand. A huge storm every three weeks on average? Whats the point of even living there if you have to be evacuted half the time.

Make that 5-6 months tormy weather. This rainy season has rainfall averaging 38 in to 1600 in.

The Philippines especially in the northwest part of The Country including Manila divide their year into three seasons: winter from December through February with dry, cool weather, summer from March through May with dry, hot weather, and the rainy season from June through November with thunderstorms and typhoons.

The rainy season is a not a bad time to visit because you do not deal with scorching heat and sun. Unless a typhoon is occurring, rain falls only two to three hours a day.

Average temperature is 80 F year round.

Tropical Storm Chanchu Leaves at Least 32 Dead in Philippines

May 14 (Bloomberg) -- Tropical Storm Chanchu left at least 32 people dead in the Philippines -- 25 from the sinking of a ferry boat -- and at least eight missing, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said.

The confirmed deaths occurred as far north as Manila and as far south as Negros Occidental province, the agency said today in a report. Aside from the ferry sinking off Masbate island, most of the other deaths resulted from falling trees. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported as many as 35 people died.

More than 600 homes were destroyed, some ``carried by floodwaters,'' the report said. More than 42,000 persons were evacuated or otherwise ``affected'' by the storm. Crops, fisheries and at least two ports were destroyed, the report said.

Chanchu, the second named storm of the Pacific Ocean cyclone season, hit the country on the afternoon of May 12, with its strongest effects being felt through last night. The Philippines is regularly hit by typhoons that sweep in from the Pacific during the May-October cyclone season.

As of noon today, Chanchu was in the South China Sea 430 kilometers (266 miles) west of the country, Agence France-Presse reported, citing the Philippine weather bureau. It was traveling west-southwest, in the direction of southern Vietnam, AFP said.
