Super typhoon ‘Reming’ makes landfall in Bicol
Supertyphoon ‘Reming’ (international name Durian) hit the Bicol region early morning Thursday, with winds capable of upstaging the damage caused by ‘Milenyo’ last September. The tropical storm was earlier forecasted to hit Metro Manila and northern Luzon on Friday but it changed directions instead.
With maximum sustained winds as high as 195 km per hour and gusts up to 230 kph, PAGASA officials raised the signal to No. 4 over Catanduanes, Albay and Camarines provinces, and Signal No. 3 (100-185 kph winds) over Sorsogon, Burias Island, Quezon, Polillo Island and Marinduque.
Warnings have also been issued of extreme damages to plantation, trees being uprooted, and severe damage to residential and industrial buildings. Billboards in Manila have been pulled down, and flood and landslide alerts were issued in central and northern Luzon.

hmm… Baltimore is in the 70s right now can you believe that? but today’s the last day of what’s been a fair week. i guess whatever snow/cold front came from your area is about to head to our coast
[...] Typhoon Durian (local name ‘Reming’) missed Manila, but left the Bicol region as a wasteland. The category 4 storm (at 230 kph) was stronger than the previous Milenyo (190 kph max) that ravaged Manila and the surrounding regions of southern Luzon. [...]
