^^^^ Yeah it isn't as bad as it could be. Projection showing the eye passing over the center of Mindoro and to the south of Puerto Galera...

Friend on the ground in Mabitac Laguna showing heavy rain and strong wind. They are OK at the moment. Here is a video they sent me.... mabitactyphoon - Streamable I will update Puerto Galera when my friend on the ground gives me the latest. Expecting 80-120 mph winds. But this is some tree...

Typhoon made landfall in Gubat with condition 3 winds. That gives it potential to strike Mindoro if it continues in a westward direction. Mindoro is extremely hilly. The potential for mudslides are extreme.

Yes, it's heading for Mindoro with dangerous wind potentially. I don't know if Puerto Galera has dealt with one this strong in recent memory. I sent my friends on the ground instructions to avoid mountainous and hilly areas. Mudslides being the greatest hazard with extremely heavy rain. Big...

I have friends who are within the path of the eye potentially. Will update. Mudslides being the greatest hazard as it strengthens to Category 4.

Heavy winds and rain expected as it targets Camarines Norte Emergency numbers as needed for anyone impacted by the typhoon below:

Good to see more footage from that area in the Philippines. ;)

Yes true. I noticed you used the common Tagalog word meron for the dictionary word "mayroon". :wink: I'm currently a Tagalog language student.(informally) Then of coarse bkt. bakit Hehehe

If I had to go. Let it be in the dentists chair. Some Nitrous flowing. Oops mixture a little too lean. And then....

What was he thinking?

Orcas are amazing animals. I like Makos and Great Whites. They don't seem so fearsome knowing they too have weaknesses like the rest of inhabitants.

Infrequently I have taken aspirin. I avoid taking all of the over the counter pain killers in general. I suck it up for any exertion related muscle pain. Today is another swim day. But I have a business meeting that could pre-empt that swim. I'm not on an extreme swim schedule anyway. Air...

Yes just like Boracay it is likely to shut down for a lot of tourism. Why because a lot of the businesses who have not met the environmental constraints are either unwilling or unable to afford the cost of installing sewage plumbing to tie into the treatment plant. Or to purchase and install a...

I thoroughly enjoy diving Puerto Galera. So much so that I returned several times. For me the highlight was diving the Alma Jane wreck. A 30 meter Japanese vessel that lies at a depth of about 30 meters. The cargo ship was sunk intentionally for divers in 2003. Here's a couple links to segments...

There is the possibility that the pool is chlorinated. However I can not detect it by smelling the water. The pool is extremely large. Sort of an angular Olympic sized pool. It has about 24 water jets around the perimeter. The surface is slightly choppy as a result. It's well lit from inside in...

There is a push for environmental restrictions which center around sewage waste containment. This article passed to me from a friend who lives there...... DOT warns tourism outlets in Puerto Galera of closure if not accredited

This evening I took another swim with 7 mil wetsuit. About 1/4 kilometer with 3 descents to the bottom. This is the 3rd time with wetsuit swimming every other day. The pool is colder now (55 F). I feel the cold through the wetsuit. No sign of any lung involvement at the moment. I'm no longer...

Hahaha there is no end to the complexities involved. Especially if you factor in pharmacology.

Yes I'm going to give the damage some time to repair. Had not realized the other important tissue that could be damaged. I.E. the capillaries supplying blood to the alveoli. No doubt there could be some tears in the capillaries from the over-pressure.
