we belong in caraga region in the philippines precisely in butuan city. and now it was being forecast that the low pressure which started in surigao turned into a storm. and yes, we are now experiencing raindrops with wind blowing. so, the weather so cool a bit frightening as you can hear the wind swishing into the leaves of trees and plants. poor those who have their rice to be reaped because it is ripe already. just help me pray that there would be no great damages to any infrastructures, ricefields and to any crops in our place. so allow me to paste this link how is this typhoon being formed:

It certainly looks like the storm will cross the Philippines this time. The past couple of typhoons just entered the PAR but did not land fall but I think this storm is really headed for us this time. I just hope that there will be less damage when it finally hits land.
So far weather here in Manila is fair and the effects of the typhoon is still not felt like you are describing in your place.

hello katrina
it is nice to know that there is someone in here who lives at the same place. oh yes, butuan is a city which is prone to flood even rainfalls is not so heavy how much more if there is a storm. thanks for the concern. for sure, the local government would give warnings to the residents to evacuate if flood would occur for their safety.
thanks again... see you around kat.. :)

We are located in southern Luzon and even us here are affected. Yesterday the sun was shining so bright and it is very warm, you would think it is the middle of summer. But now, the wind is blowing so strongly and its drizzling. I don't think I saw the sun shine today, it was really cloudy.
I hope you guys will be okay there, no floods or anything.

oh really... rainy weather would really come during this time because christmas is coming even having storm. all we need to do is stay alert for the things that might happened along the way. we already knew what to do since our country is really prone to bad weather like this. if we need to evacuate, then let us not be hard-headed. security must comes first before securing our things we have like our houses, livestocks and etc.
stay safe too and thanks for the concern :)
