Noticed it is getting pretty dang windy here tonight.

'Pablo' gains speed; high warning signal up - Yahoo! News Philippines

Where we are located north of Cebu the news article is only calling for a category 1, but the center of ole Pablo is expected to be the worse this year at Cat 3.

Quote:
The typhoon has earlier been tagged by the U.S. Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) as a "super typhoon" with winds that could peak at 231 kph.
But looking at the direction of travel shown in this AccuWeather site.. it looks like we might get hit closer to the center.

AccuWeather.com - Hurricane 2012 - West Pacific Basin Hurricane & Tropical Storm Center


As usual they will be shutting all the electric of here sometime tonight..

Find and check for gas for the lamp.. check

Flashlights located and charged... check

Boil water and fill the thermos.. check

Bottle of Rhum?....WTF! I'm out!

Has it hit you yet? Still just windy as heck here, no rain yet.

We are on a small island off the coast of Cebu, and always loose electric for a day or so.

I'm guessing later tonight or in the morning.

Good luck to you down there!

I don't drink the San Mig, just never cared much for beer.

But sure do love the 5 year dark Tanduay Rhum

Ever get up to Cebu City much?

We are about a 3 hour trip north by bus from Cebu City, then another hour or so by boat over to Bantayan Island

Love it here!
