| S'gan-Levi User ID: 1133332  Israel10/17/2010 02:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Heard that its one nasty CAT 5 now. Revelation 1:7 "Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen." Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn." |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1131165 United States10/17/2010 02:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A so-called "super typhoon" is bearing down on the northern Philippines, prompting evacuations of thousands of people from coastal areas threatened with destructive winds, rain and storm surges. Authorities say villagers began moving to higher ground voluntarily Sunday in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabella on the northern tip of Luzon island. Typhoon Megi was moving west toward Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 250 kilometers an hour, making it a category five storm, the highest rating. [link to www.voanews.com] |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1131454 Portugal10/17/2010 02:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (CNN) -- Emergency crews were on standby Sunday as the Philippines braced for a typhoon that could trigger flooding and landslides. Typhoon Megi, also known as Typhoon Juan, is expected to make landfall midday Monday at or near super-typhoon strength, with winds possibly in excess of 200 kph (124 mph), according to Mario Montejo, secretary of the Philippines' science and technology [link to edition.cnn.com] |
| RUDDD User ID: 1117335 United Kingdom10/17/2010 02:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Max sustained winds 155 knots = 178 mph Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1131165With gust up to 190 knots = 218 mph Sounds about right. To put into perspective, a passenger jet simply taxiing (not even on takeoff power), is enough to roll over a car or anyone/thing that happens to pass across it. Imagine that, but on a scale cutting across hundreds of miles along this Typhoon's path. Not forgetting the rainfall creating flash-floods in its wake. |
