super typhoon??

[JimOttley]

is there a super typhoon heading for philippines???....i have read reports about it...does anyone know any thing about it??

I think "hope" in this case that they just mean higher wind speed, last weeks Odnoy was unusual in the sheer volume of its precipitation.

Yep they are calling "PEPENG" (Parma) a Super Typhoon.

Yeah, my son phoned me earlier tonight to ask if Myrna's family were ok [which they ARE as they all live in Mindanao]; he'd heard somewhere that last weekend's events were the result of a Tsunami caused by "earthquake" tremors on the seabed. Fortuitously, those were sufficiently far offshore to avert full scale destruction of epic proportions ... on a par with the 2004 events in the Indian Ocean.

Actualy what your son mentioned I think he got it a little bit mixed up as nearly in the same time as typhoon Ketsana hit Luzon, Samoan islands were hit by the earthquake and resulting tsunami as well as Indonesia recently.
Looks like mother nature is spilling her anger over Asia now...
