Super Typhoon Reming! Not good.. NOT good.

After having been through Typhoon Milenyo (Xangsane) in Late september in the philippines - I am a concerned for my Filipino friends now that Super Typhoon Reming (Durian) is about 24 hours from making landfall in Virac, Catanduanes in the Philippines as well.

Apparently stronger, and more powerful than Milenyo, Reming is sure to bring about more devastation. Milenyo ITSELF was the most powerful since Super Typhoon Angela (Rosing) in 1995. This one's worse. So not a good year for Typhoons in the phillipines.

The current prognosis is:

Thursday morning:landfall over Catanduanes
Thursday afternoon:vicinity of Sipocot, Camarines Sur
Friday afternoon:130 kms west of Metro Manila
Saturday afternoon:390 kms west southwest of Iba, Zambales

For those of you who've never been through a Typhoon, pray that you never have to. It's NOT nice, and only leaves you gobsmacked in awe at mother nature. Very very powerful these things. Milenyo killed 197 in the Philippines, crossed the south china sea and Killed another 71 in Vietnam... :(

Little Suzy here flies into Manila on Sunday Night, so wish me luck! :) - I'll put up some pics if i can. Will also try to upload my videos from Milenyo later....
