Link only...can't get my gosh darned iPad to cooperate. The good news is that much of Palau was spared! Last minute turn indeed, thank you, God.

So those Palauans who said the storm would turn away were right.

Thanx for the ping ... talkin' to mama right now (930PM eastern)

She's about 1/2 way on the east coast of Mindanao

Report said to be a cat 4 hit Tuesday.

Best and up to the min. data is at www.typhoon2000.ph

Looks like it will cross Mindanao and go in near Dumaguete, just off the south end of Cebu.
May still have winds 100+ mph when passing south end of Cebu.

Do us all a favor. Please just stay off hurricane/typhoon threads. All you do is troll on them. Your behavior during Sandy was despicable.

I wish you well, sounds like you are well-prepared. Hoping it weakens further before it gets to where you are. (My geography improved considerably since we started following this storm last night). And 100 mph is still bad...but certainly better than the 155-180 that the forecasters had last night. Take good care.

Palau got lucky.

NYC and the Jersey Shore did not.

Seriously, you think this is all fun and games. You're not funny. Just an a-hole.

Asking for an update from yesterday is all I was asking for.

Sure, I get sarcastic and I try to be funny. I wasn't the only one cracking "capsize" jokes last night.

Sandy? I was making fun of the media coverage. It was going to be the worst storm in the history of storms. lol. Where was the coverage for West Virginia?

My sis-in law’s family is in Cebu. Tells me it’s better to be caught there than in the “basin” of Manila.

Seriously, get over yourself. The forecast had a supertyphoon going over an island woefully unprepared for such. Fortunately, the storm tracked W instead of the WNW track.

Seriously, please leave your stupid and lame attempts at humor on your vanity posts. You were a major-league troll on the Sandy threads. All Sandy did was cause over 50 billion in damage and kill over 100 Americans. Not funny. Neither are you. West Virginia is now back to normal. The Jersey Shore and affected parts of NYC and Long Island will not get back to normal for a long, long time.

Is in Cebu city, or on Cebu?
Cebu is a big island.
If she is not on a beach, probably OK.

They better get that monster croc (Lolong) into an escape proof enclosure before the typhoon hits.

They sure as hell don’t need his giant ass wandering around eating dead bodies. He was bad enough when wild.

You are the one making personal insults and accusations that make no sense. Have I said anything about you? have I attacked or maligned you in any way?

You resort to personal attacks because you are a small SMALL person with a small SMALL soul
