Roger-------hoping for the best for ya'll...Being from Louisiana, we know what these things can do.....Hope both Cebu & Negros turn out OK.......Keep us posted, & hunker down.....

Well the storm has past and we did not really feel anything but a few strong winds and a little heavy rain, Dumaguette and Siquijor experienced heavier winds and rain than us.. It back to diving later today

Our thoughts are with the folks in Mindanao who experienced the full force of the storm..

Cheers,
Roger

That's good news Roger! I'm actually waiting for some confirmations from Mindanao, but I realize they're busy with more pressing matters than answering emails!

Good to hear Roger...it's amazing what sometimes 50 to a hundred miles makes on these storms.....

This typhoon is NOT finished yet. It is still hanging around and threaten to make a U turn!!!!
Keep an eye on it.

It actually has looped around, but thankfully it doesn't look like it's posing much of a threat to the northern PI since the NE monsoon will push it southwest. One never knows for sure with the weather, though. Here's a graphic
