Anyone from the Philippines this time

Once again, I have weather news.

It looks like a second typhoon is coming, also from the East. It looks pretty huge (judging from the satellite pics) and it looks like it's going to hit the Eastern parts of the Philippines... maybe Samar and Leyte... probably also Eastern Luzon.

You'll probably hear/read news about it being "worse" than Ondoy. Something to note:
When Ondoy/Ketsana landed in Metro Manila, it was really more about the heavy rains than it was about the wind. Again, it brought a month's worth of rain in 6 hours but we couldn't expect that from a Signal 1 typhoon.
But this second one, now named Pepeng, is probably about the wind. I'm hearing news about expecting a signal number 3/super typhoon designation.

As such, watch the weather and check your houses. If it's not slowing down or dying out, it'll probably arrive in a couple of days.
Whoever is connected to people who have giant billboards and live in areas that are likely to be hit, I think it would also be quite a contribution to raise some concern and reassess the possibility of these promotional tools falling on top of someone's house or car or torso.


There's also talk of a third typhoon that was visible a few days ago but I can't make it out anymore from the sat images. Still... if it's hiding there somewhere... we're screwed.


UPDATE:
CNN just called it a Super Typhoon.
It's moving West Northwest so it's headed for Luzon... again... But it's still pretty huge so I'm guessing eastern and central regions will still get some of the winds and rain.

Several areas in Metro Manila still haven't recovered from the floods, and the drainage systems haven't been cleaned up yet. I think we're definitely going to see more floods in NCR even if Pepeng doesn't bring as much rain with it as Ondoy did.

As for the rest of the Philippines: God save us.
