Metro Manila - Signal # 1 due to Bagyong Juan (Super Typhoon Megi)...its not raining and its still outside...but we still should take care and not be overconfident..its now Category 5...
No classes in pre-school for those under Signal # 1
Super Typhoon MEGI (JUAN) has dipped more to the southwest...now endangers Isabela and Northern Aurora...whole of Luzon under serious threat...
*MEGI is comparable in strength to Super Typhoon ANGELA (ROSING) of November 2-3, 1995, which battered Bicol & Southern Luzon including Metro Manila...and is considered one of the worst typhoons in Philippine History.
My officemates in QC also report a similar observation, i.e. no rain, slight wind. Ganun din daw sa Makati CBD. That's good, actually. But it could worsen as it gets dark. Hopefully not.
PAGASA is describing this typhon ans "well-behaved" typhoon, i.e. it's following all that they have forecasted or predicted (so far), or behaving the way it is expected.
That means tomorrow we will have an OK weather here in Manila.
Kawawa naman sila. Swerte na lang naka-uwi na yung anak ko. He was there over the weekend with his classmates (entire class, i.e. it was a school work related trip).
Metro Manila is still under Storm Signal #1. Typhoon "JUAN" has weakened after crossing the Sierra Madre Mountain.
As of 1:00 a.m., today (Tuesday, 19 October 2010), Typhoon "JUAN" was located at 140 kms West Northwest of Baguio City (17.1°N, 119.4°E) with maximum sustained winds of 160 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 195 kph.
No classes in those w/ signal 2-3-4..
