Weather TALK [forecasts, etc]

[dr. d]

Reading and talking about these emergency alerts from NDRRMC made me belatedly realize that it has its own usefulness.

Take the case of my relative who despite having twitter, facebook, viber, tv, cable, and other usual and common -- especially to us who have easy access to it -- sources, did not know that school classes in her area were already suspended for the next day (Monday, December 2). It was suspended Sunday night, and her viber group even informed her of that fact. For whatever reason (stress, work, just busy, etc) she missed that very important and crucial notice.

Next day came, she even woke up early, prepared breakfast, woke her kids up -- when that loud emergency alert caught her attention and only then did she realize that her area was already under signal number 2, which made her check her viber to find out, albeit belatedly, that classes were indeed suspended as per her suspicion because of that one (1) alert. In short, that NDRRMC alert "saved" her.

If it "saved" her, someone who had easy access to that info in the first place, what more those who don't have the same access? I'm sure there are those who are grateful for it, but maybe not us city fellas. We gripe when government does "nothing" -- i.e. don't alert us --, and we still gripe when they do.

naka superglue ang radyo ko sa dzmm 630 AM sa talapihitan.
i don't miss the cellphone advisements.
but i can appreciate its uses, in areas where commercial radio signals are weak.

Storm surge daw po Doc, I think the port is somewhat low, so most likely it was the water which pushed the 2 vehicles.

There was a time when I used to listen to these AM stations. It was a routine. News is kinda timely on AM radio -- especially weather news -- way back then. But I've weaned myself out of it because there was just too much useless chatter which I can really do without anymore.

Yesterday morning, I woke up to downpours and thunderstorms. This morning, I woke up to fog so thick I couldn't see the house across the street. In all the time I lived here, this is only the second time I've seen thick fog here. Reminds me of that really dense California fog.

High Pressure is setting up over us and last until the weekend. That means less clouds which will allow ground heat to radiate back out into space at night. We'll see cooler morning lows and drier conditions.
