I think ang pinaka killer dito sa.bagyo ung "storm surge". Kung nautos ito sa lgu at nasambit ni pnoy sa kanyang live speech na "may kasamang malaking tsunami at pumunta sa high ground", maraming buhay ang masasalba.

Sabi nga ni Ted Failon the government should rename the term "storm surge" hindi nga daw naintindihan ng general public. Will the term tsunami suffice? Or kailangan may lindol muna para magamit ang "tsunami?"

Sad part is yun nasa evacuation center inabot din. Imagine akala mo safe ka na with your family after evacuating yun pala hindi din.

Chaotic siguro sa tacloban walang pulis to keep peace and order pati kasi sila biktima.

Im just wondering base on the sat image.. is it possible to destroy these typoon by dropping some blasting or any sort of bomb to atleast break and weakened the speed or reduce the strenght of it... Not a harmful bomb but at least high pressure compressed air and drop it in the eye of the typoon.

Biruan din namin yan, wala pa ba scientific research to destroy typhoons?

Watching anc right now, pati pala mga ATM binabaklas at ninanakawan na.

Nagkakaway pa sa camera yun mga walanghiyang nagnakaw sa gaisano.

may be scientist need to create artificial shock wave to destroy incoming typoon sa dagat palang tunawin na

Ako inaanalyze ko pang shield sa malakas na hangin eh yung mga endemic/native forest trees na malalaki dahon or mafoliage.

Kasi example sa farm kung strategically maglalagay ka puno na design sumangga ng wind eh protektado yung gitna ng pananim.

Nung ondoy karamihan nalaglag eh mahogany na exotic. Hindi yan sa pinas. Yung dita tree na native eh matibay..

Kasi magiging normal occurence ang pag-ulan. Kaysa katakutan nyo yan eh magisip ng paraan na may pakinabang ang tubig ulan. Magtanim kayo philippine trees na matakaw sa tubig. Ako nga gusto ko umuulan pag gabi/madaling araw para hindi na ako magdilig. Madali matuyo lupa sa mga tanim ko,.

Pnoy should understand that Tacloban is in utter chaos. Dapat Army na mag control since total breakdown na...and that is a city of 200,000 inhabitants. Pati nga New Orleans na declare ng Martial Law after Katrina para maka tulong yung National Guards.

95% of Tacloban devastated?

MANILA -- President Benigno Aquino III on Sunday walked out of a disaster council meeting in Tacloban out of frustration.

According to radio dzMM’s Edwin Sevidal, Aquino was visibly dismayed with reports given to him by officials of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on the state of Leyte, in particular Tacloban, where thousands are now feared dead after the onslaught of super typhoon Yolanda.

Sevidal said Aquino had a brush with a businessman there who first asked that the government already declare martial law or a state of emergency. Aquino supposedly explained that the government is already looking at options to help in the recovery of Leyte.

A friend of the businessman also supposedly asked Aquino what the government is doing since there are already reports of killing there. The person supposedly said he was held at gunpoint by some looters.

“But you did not die, right?” Aquino answered back.

The Presidential Security Group were seen ready to remove the individuals from the room, Sevidal reported.

Later, Aquino again showed dismay when NDRRMC executive director Eduardo del Rosario reported that Tacloban City is 95% devastated.

Aquino asked about a jail in Tacloban that remained standing amid damaged roofs. Del Rosario allegedly said it was considered a “minor devastation.”

The answer supposedly did not bode well with the President. He then stood up and proceeded to another room.

Sevidal reported that Aquino has since come back.

TV5 will be doing a telethon for Yolanda victims during "The Mega and the Songwriter" show at 9pm tonight, Sunday. Sharon Cuneta and Ogie Alcasid will lead. We would be very much appreciate your donations to this worthwhile cause.

isang bagay ang sigurado na susunod sa mga pangayayari na ito..

pagkakataon mo nanaman magpabango at sumikat..




vice-president binay.. pasok!

Actually, game ako kung pinapunta si Binay sa forefront ng bagyo... bago tumama yung bagyo at nagka-storm surge. :D

Hinahanda na siguro ni Binay yung "B" branded relief goods at yung mga pabahay na ipapamigay niya.

Sa dinami-dami ng mga bangkay na nakakalat sa kalye in Tacloban, bakit hindi pa si Abnoy ang isa doon???

As for the looters, why were they left behind by Yolanda ???

Senate should investigate why there is a natural calamity para magkaroon sila ng SILBI kahit paano.

Another storm is brewing and is expected to take the same route as Yolanda.

Baka napikon siya dun sa suggestion to declare martial law. i think that "businessman" should have chosen his words better. Granted looting, robbery, killing, etc. is running rampant in Tacloban, that can be solved by troop deployment, etc. Baka akala niya martial law = troop deployment. imho martial law is a whole other mess. It means everybody's rights -- including us here in MM who weren't hit by the typhoon -- get their rights thrown out the window. It means the Senate/Congress become impotent(not that they're doing any good with the power they currently have).

btw, this has got to be a first:

Expect the storms to get more powerful and deadlier...

Just hope they don't find their way to Manila.

Typhoon Haiyan the biggest yet as world's tropical storms gather force | World news | theguardian.com

Typhoon Haiyan the biggest yet as world's tropical storms gather force
John Vidal, environment editor
Friday 8 November 2013 20.15 GMT

When typhoon Haiyan - known in the Philippines as Yolanda - pounded into the islands of Samar and Leyte at 4.40am after picking up speed on a 900-mile track across the Pacific, the US navy's warning centre, JTWC, in Honolulu, calculated its winds to be gusting at up to 235mph (380kph).

This would make it the fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded and possibly the strongest to have ever hit land. By comparison, St Jude, the storm that hit in southern England last month, had winds gusting to 99mph.

As Filipino communities calculated the flood and wind damage done in the 25-mile-wide path of the storm, meteorologists questioned claims that Haiyan was the strongest ever to make landfall. "All we can say at this stage is maybe. The estimates of wind strength and central pressure are just that – estimates – albeit from well-attested satellite techniques developed over decades. Without ground observations right in the centre of the track we can never be totally sure," said Julian Heming, tropical prediction scientist at the Met Office.

Haiyan is the third Category 5 "super typhoon" to hit the Philippines since 2010. "In 2010 Megi peaked at 180mph winds but killed only 35 people, and did $276m in damage. But Bopha, which hit the southern Philippine island of Mindanao on 3 December, 2012 , left 1,901 people dead and was the costliest natural disaster in Philippines history at the time," said Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at US-based Weather Underground in his daily blog.

According to the Philippine government, the area's typhoons have been getting stronger. "Menacingly, the Filipino typhoons are getting stronger and stronger, especially since the 90s," said Romulo Virola, head of the government's national statistics board. "From 1947 to 1960, the strongest typhoon to hit us was Amy in December 1951 with a highest wind speed recorded at 240kph in Cebu. From 1961 to 1980, Sening was the record holder with a highest wind speed of 275kph in October 1970. During the next 20 years, the highest wind speed was recorded by Anding and Rosing at 260kph. In the current millennium, the highest wind speed has soared to 320kph recorded by Reming in Nov-Dec 2006. If this is due to climate change, we better be prepared for even stronger ones in the future."

The steady warming of the oceans is likely to lead to fewer but stronger tropical typhoons, said scientists from the intergovernmental panel on climate change in a special report on climate extremes this year. "The average tropical cyclone maximum wind speed is likely to increase, but the global frequency of tropical cyclones is likely to decrease or remain unchanged," it said.

A record seven typhoons developed across the west Pacific during October, beating beat the previous record of six in 1989. Nearly one-third of the world's tropical storms form within the western Pacific and many track due west to the Philippines archipelago, the first major landmass they meet. In a normal season, only three or four typhoons develop.
