Administrator +Dafey 16,328 Posted October 24, 2018 Administrator Share Posted October 24, 2018 When they first started tracking this beast the spaghetti models were all over the place... Today it looks like they have a better handle on it's projected track... I think we are pretty much in the clear...but, id doesn't hurt to prepare! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BossHog 39,605 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 This thing has basically exploded. Will be the biggest storm to date on planet earth in 2018 Boat travel here is off and so are the planes. Huge surf expected here on Siargao come Sunday. The Marianas gonna catch it right soon. No idea if there will be a northern Luzon landfall; that remains to be seen. Already up to 145 knots and down to 908 mb. That my friends is a storm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BossHog 39,605 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Turns out Yutu was the 5th strongest cyclone to make landfall in history. Yolanda still the champion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The chart clearly refers to wind speed at landfall. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The second of 5 landfalls was Leyte. The first landfall happened in Guiuan town of Easter Samar at 4:40 am Friday. https://www.rappler.com/nation/43215-yolanda-landfalls-pagasa 1 Link to post Share on other sites
