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
