Tama ka bro... Dito iyan sa may Sucat Interchange... Kita namin from the office iyan... Tao lang ang makakatawid ng Sucat Bridge over SLEX...... Medyo pahiga pa ang lusot sa ilalim ng bumagsak na crane.... Ang lakas talaga ng hangin para mapabagsak ito....

It's a disaster in our area. A lot of trees were uprooted and still no electricity.

Noynoy is pissed that PAGASA waited til 11pm to announce that Manila will directly affdcted. I think he should rely on the internet more than PAGASA.

I don't rely on PAGASA for my weather updates, especially with typhoon path predictions. I already knew by 5:00pm yesterday that Metro Manila was going to be directly hit by the storm. I already sent TXT messages to my sales people and staff to take proper precaution because the storm will be at Metro Manila by the forecasted time of 2am.

The website I check is http://www.typhoon2000.ph

Wala na pag-asa yang PAG-ASA :diver:

Most of our big trees that are vulnerable already went down during Ondoy... minor lang damage dito, but we had a short scare when the river rose twenty feet in less than one hour when the typhoon hit Cavite. PAGASA kept saying the typhoon would head north... instead, the eye went right over us here in the south!

Ouch. When you buy a genset, buy diesel. Diesel gensets last longer. You can't get them in the same small sizes as gasoline sets, so you have to spend more up front, but at least you can run them for longer periods of time.

Looking at getting a secondhand one and running it on veggie oil.

Annnnd now we have power.

For those who lose internet and TV coverage during brownouts, you can get updates from Typhoon2000 by texting "T2K TYPHOON" or "T2k TYPHOON SIGNALS" to 2800 (Globe/TM) or 216 (Smart/TnT).

The T2k TYPHOON SIGNALS update is useful for knowing if your kid will have school... but to know whether to run to the hills in fear, the T2K TYPHOON update is better.

Save it on your cellphone now. It comes in handy. I've been using it all night.
