Nervous times for the Philippines

Latest scenario from the ECMWF model for tropical storm Fung Wong:

[Gavin O'Brien]

Hi Ken,

I have to agree,

after the earthquake in Cebu, the last thing they needed was a Typhoon which impacted the same region.

 I am very concerned as on its predicted path, Typhoon Wong-Fung will impact my wife's home Provence, north of Manila. One can only hope it misses Metro Manila as the city is heavily populated, low lying, subject to flooding and a possible storm surge from Manila Bay, not to mention destructive winds. Having witnessed a Typhoon passage north of Manila in 1970 while in transit to Vietnam, I was an experience I am yet to forget! 

One lives in hope and prays. (Filipinos are very religious as well as resilient people )

Cheers,

Gavin

Hi all,

My sister-in-law lost power last night. She described the wind as terrifying as the center of Typhoon Fung-Wong passed over the Provence (La Union) about 210 km Northwest of Manila. The house was extensively renovated last year, with a stronger roof and an extra level added. It has come through the typhoon undamaged. We are yet to hear how others survived the storm which is now located in the South China Sea.

Cheers,

Gavin
