Administrator +Dafey 16,278 Posted December 28, 2018 Administrator Share Posted December 28, 2018 Heavy rain early this morning in Western Leyte but all quiet now. Took the dog walking this morning on the beach in the rain, (not being cruel, she's a Lab and loves the rain and water), and the sea was flat hardly any wind. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Only what I would call steady rain in Palompon overnight and practically no rain during the day all though it has looked all day like it might rain. There is a bit of wind but not very strong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is @colemanlee is getting the worst of it in northern Leyte. Is Cebu even getting any of this? Link to post Share on other sites
MickyG 348 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 appears to have stalled off Leyte and should have already passed through but has not budged. Winds look like they may be intensifying as it has stopped? Link to post Share on other sites

The PCG made the move after the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) lifted all tropical cyclone warning signals due to Usman. “In view of the lifting of the Pagasa of all tropical cyclone warning signals as of 7am today, the PCG likewise is lifting the suspension of all sea travel in areas where trips have been suspended,” the PCG said in a statement. https://www.facebook.com/112152289453434/posts/265234994145162/ The PCG suspended sea trips last Thursday in the following areas: Luzon Sorsogon Masbate, including Ticao Island Visayas Northern Samar Samar Biliran Leyte Southern Leyte Northern Cebu, including the Camotes Islands Mindanao Dinagat Island The agency also suspended all sea travel to and from Surigao City in Surigao del Norte.

It made landfall over Borongan City, Eastern Samar, at 6 a.m. However, Pagasa maintained that sea travel would risky over the seaboards of Northern and Central Luzon, the eastern and western seaboard of Southern Luzon, and the eastern seaboard of the Visayas due to the surge of the northeast monsoon. The weather bureau advised fisherfolk and those with small seacraft not to venture out over the seaboards of said areas. /cbb 1 Link to post Share on other sites
