GregZ Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) she was at danao Is that Danao City, Cebu? If so, should be no problems there. It is just north of Cebu City. I am in Cebu City. Just low winds and intermittent moderate rainfall here so far. Power was out a few hours ago for 20 minutes and the water stopped for a bit. :th_hu: I doubt it was storm related.

GregZ Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 http://www.gov.ph/crisis/typhoon-pablo/ Crisis Center Typhoon Pablo Update: Eye of typhoon southeast of Dumaguete Complete Story As of 5 p.m. of December 4, 2012, the eye of Typhoon Pablo was at 30 km southeast of Dumaguete City. From what I have read and seen on TV there is a lot of damage on Mindinao. Lost of life is very low, but quite a few injuries. I hope the reports stay that good when they have good communication. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougbert Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Seems like no major problems around Cebu City/Mactan area. My GF told me more about the ferry reports. Apparently the coast guard shut down a lot of ferry operations including forcing some ferries in-route to stop elsewhere. Her mother lives on Pangangan off of the SW side of Bohol and 17 ferries of all sizes were stopped there and at Tubigon yesterday. I guess the Cebu Strait was too rough for safe passage. I also hope the loss of life was low on Mindanao. Looks like quite a bit of flooding occurred there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Yes we suffered no damage at all and i had expected my plastic corrugated roof to become a giant sail and take off .... but it hardly even flapped in the wind ..... hardly no rain to speak of ....... had worst during thunderstorms .... we really dodged a bullet with this one ..... having lived in Florida for some 30 years I am VERY familiar with hurricanes .... in fact one year we had 4 that hit where I lived and we were with out power for 2 weeks ..... I don't fully understand why we didn't get any more of the storm than we did as everything pointed toward a nasty blow but I'm sure not complaining ..... the worst thing about a storm like that is people can become complacent and next time will ignore the warnings and preparations and that's how people get killed ..... my landlord didn't even know we were supposed to get a typhoon until we asked him if we could move our car under the cover ....... as it happened we didn't need to ... thank god .... I hope for you that had to weather the storm you are all OK ..... :thumbsup: ...... :cheersty: Edited December 5, 2012 by Mike S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hounddriver Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I don't fully understand why we didn't get any more of the storm than we did as everything pointed toward a nasty blow Perhaps there is more to this higher power thing than we know: The mayor said they will also hold a 5:30 p.m Mass at Cebu City Hall for the successful Calungsod Thanksgiving Mass and to pray for protection for the city from “Pablo's” wrath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we have the patron St of Mactan on an alter here at the house- my wife always says El Santo Nino ( me thinks :) ) Is his name protects them and sends the typhoons other directions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
