Friday, our time (USA), it is suppose to hit from what you say. I will be watching. News here is sketchy so keep us up to snuff before or if you loose power.
Are you in a good area where you are somewhat protected?
-
That looks insane bro. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay safe and update us when you can.
-
@TLRam1... I'm a bit far from direct hit... but that's a forecast.. the Hurricane that big can be felt... The international name is Super Typhoon Haiyan... you can search that in the net for more updates...
@TroutBum... Thanks man... Yeah, that is insane.... You in the U.S.A. do you remember Hurricane Camille in 1969?... or Hurricane Katrina in 2005? yeah, same strength...

Glad you are ok Vivo! That storm was a big story here in the states. What a mess you all have to deal with now. Yikes!
-
Good to hear you are okay, Vivo. That was crazy. I could not imagine having to go through that. The amount of destruction in a matter of a short period of time is mind boggling. The Pilipinos are a tough people. They will rebuild and move on.
-
Got the right thread! Good for you and yours, Vivo! God bless!

I was just looking at those.... no words can express...

The devastation is just unbelievable...can't even get my mind around how immense that storm was. Just happy that Vivo came through it safely!

Just wiped it out, do you know what area, state this is in?

hope all is well, vivo!
waiting on our quake here in cali you are not alone!! ;D
-
We too expect a storm surge for thursday.
Not as powerful as tropical typhoons in warm oceans, but with our shoreline like a funnel the sea is expected to rise 5.7m
And if the water floods over the embankment, it's not much fun swimming (actual 7°C).
-
Keep your head above water.
-
Peak water was 6.1m above normal (that's very high, but embankments withstand). Wind peak "only" 176kph, minor material damage.
The only known casualty: a 82yr old woman died, after a wind gust pushed her car from the road in front of a tree.
The storm brought cold humid weather. 48cm new snowdepth on the mountain "Brocken".
-
Wow ts1, that's bad! hope everythings fine there...
-
Great relief here.
Much of our land is below sea level. Every high tide would cause flooding and devastating acres and meadows with salt, if there where no embankment.
Shore protection is a tradition (esp. in the Netherlands!) for more than 1000 years. Germany invests more than 100 millionen euro - per year - into dyke, automatic dyke openings and pumping stations etc.
We think it's to late to prepare, if a storm surge will land in 2 days. And afterwards it's to late to wait for US help.
Other nations (like Bangladesh, India) have a different approach. They prefer reaction over preparation.

I know exactly what you mean... Same in our country... Politicians steal money intended for disaster preparations...
