Prayers for Guam – Typhoon Mangkhut
Typhoon Hagupit (Ruby) – Final
Check back often for updates before, during, and after the typhoon has passed. God be with us all.
I am writing this from manila with regular communication with people in the Visayas region (expected landfall area).
Final Update
12/8/12 11:00 pm EST
Well the typhoon has come and pass and to be honest, it was uneventful in Manila. The city did a really good job in making sure that everyone that needed to be evacuated got the help they needed. The problem now going forward is that some people who evacuated and checked into shelters saw little or no effects from the typhoon. They may be stubborn and not pay attention to future earnings.
Update 5
12/7/14 11:45 pm EST
Buildings are now covered with rain clouds as compared to previous pics.
Picture taken 10 mins later. Rain has now completely covered makati.
Update 4
12/7/14 7:35 pm EST
Worst of the typhoon should be hitting manila in about 12 hours. Was told winds will be around 50-90 kph but rains can be torrential possibly leading to flash floods. If you know manila, you know that will be a certainty. It’s an overcast day. Schools are cancelled today and private sector jobs have the option to cancel today as well (most have).
Update 3
12/6/14 8:55 pm EST
View of Manila Golf and Country Club from Global City. It’s hot and to be honest people here are not at all worried about the typhoon. They are saying that the the worst of the storm will be arriving tonight.
Update 2
12/6/14 8:36 am EST
Some are taking this typhoon seriously, most aren’t. We have ballroom dancing at Market Market in Global City as the typhoon makes landfall in Samar. Typhoon is expected to be in our general area within the day.
Give thanks to our lord and savior for sparing this country from devastating forces. The Philippines be blessed.
Update 1
12/5/14 -10:35 pm EST
Breakfast stroll around Makati at the Salcedo Saturday Market. Lots of people here. No one is worried about the upcoming typhoon around this area.
12/5/14 – 6:15 pm EST
Well, I certainly picked a good time to have a business trip in Manila. Expecting winds around a 122 mph (197kph) and I am staying on the 16th floor in a condo. I’m flying back to Guam on Monday but based on the Storm track models, that seems to be unlikely. PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PHILIPPINES. The path of this storm is similar to that of Super Typhoon Yolanda.
Typhoon Vongfong Arrives On Guam.
Update 2 4:40 pm.
Weather is clearing up now as Guam is now in COR 4. We dodge a bullet here. Pray for Rota as they shouldered the brunt of the typhoon.
Update 1 8:20 am.
Just opened the front door. Still raining hard on the island. Still under flash flood warnings and COR 1.
Original text.
The family has finally experienced our first typhoon on Guam. The eye of the typhoon arrived around 4:00 am. The pictures here are the view from the house. I pray the severity of the typhoon was off the shores of Guam. God bless and watch over the people of Guam and Rota (was much closer to the eye of the storm) with safety and security. Update coming…
The calm before the storm. 24 hours before arrival.
