Tropical depression now intensifies into a Tropical Storm, locally designated TS 'Juaning'.

Reports coming in about heavy rains and flooding in Philippines southern and central provinces. Heavy rains here in Manila also.

Looks like the storm traveled further east than expected. Looks now to me headed fairly close to Manila. Yesterday they were expecting it to travel further north and hit the mainland around HK. So much for weather forecasts. BTW i wish the PAGASA would follow the international naming for storms coming through their area. Imagine if every country had a different name for the same storm.
 
Finding a reliable weather report on Malapascua is like trying to find the police on Malapascua on Sunday.I spent (32) days living on Bad Christmas Island and the last week with the combination of the terrible weather and a local pulling a gun on me demanding money;I picked up my dive gear and left. As for the Evolution,I hope their dive service is better than their food service.The Alferdo Fetticcine was stone cold,contained pieces of griesel,and tasted like cake grease. Of course Matt apologized for the food but the (30) island locals withnessing my armed extortion never made a effort to help me even after pleading for assistance.
