I kinda think tomorrow will be the real problem, not tonight. :island14: Meanwhile the electric will go out, I just don't know when. When it does I will move the computer, TV, and everything else that can become water damaged down stairs to help protect it. |
I know it's not your first rodeo with nasty stuff blowing into town.
Stay safe brutha :cert: Scott |

I am worried also, not much for me, but for my family. |

Any possibility of getting up to the northern part of the country? |
Man, I am really hoping the best for you, your family and friends. Wind is bad....rising water is much worse. Looking at that last plot it looks as if the eye will pass north of you and that is a very good thing for lessening wind and storm surge impact.
Hang in there bro.... |

Not an option at this time... :lol: |

I'm not worried about flooding as the sea will take up all the rains here. Back a bit into the village would offer some blocking protection from the wind... No hills nearby so no landslide problems.. I have been trying to think of a safer place to send the wife and kids but have no better plan yet than our guest house. The last time I woke to the roof flapping in the wind, and saved it with the help of my brother in law... and some rope. But that was a small one, and we are much more well tied down now than before. |

I can't find any estimates other than: "Haiyan will also produce a severe and inundating storm surge, especially along the eastern coast of southern Luzon and Samar islands. Residents are urged to take the necessary precautions now ahead of Haiyan's approach and heed all evacuation orders issued by local officials." |
This is the only tracking service I've been using since forever to track these things. Check it out, it's very useful.
After clicking the storm icon on the front page map you can view the image of the storm through a variety of filters listed across the top of the page and even see an animation in a variety size resolutions. CIMSS Tropical Cyclones |
What about heading to the Southern end of the island by vehicle? San Jose is the provincial capitol and has some very sturdy buildings. Winds will only be about half as strong there by the looks of the predictions.

Tim, I hope all works out well for you and your family.

Damn, Tim. Looking at the storm tracking map, The eye of that thing is aimed right at you! Stay safe man. :angel:
