New Storm - 23 Dec 2018

[MickyG 275]

Looks like a low pressure area tracking to Leyte and Samar for Friday. May be as windy as it is wet.

 

Presently at 8.09 N  135.99 E  at 25km/h

Any new insights from the experts on this one? We are supposedly heading to Camiguin Thursday for arrival Friday...

Wet and Windy is the insight, still on track for Leyte and Samar then into southern Bicol

Thanks. I don't care about wet, this is a business trip, not a vacation. All I am concerned about is are the boats going to run down here. They tend to shut the boats down when the ocean is perfectly flat here, if there is a small ripple on the water in Tacloban 300 km to the north.

It won't be 'Horrible' but yes...the ferries will likely cancel. Have a good backup plan.

What would you propose as a backup plan for traveling to or from Camiguin?

Our backup plan is to wait it out, if we get there. We have at least two days work there. By then the storm will be past.

But not looking very promising, at present.

Should start seeing some weather by tomorrow (the 27th). Nothing drastic by any means but quite probably some boats will be stuck in port.

Not going, if we left today, we would not get there until tomorrow noon. Cutting it too fine, no desire to be stuck on Bohol.
