How can Mindanao have a VERY low typhoon risk and Bohol only a low risk??
Last year Mindanao got absolutely battered by a typhoon!

Thanks for posting Mystica. Interesting stuff indeed.
As for typhoons in Mindanao they're meant to be pretty rare from what I've heard especially in the west but of course there was the devastating one last year.
According to those risk maps, most of The Philippines is just waiting for the inevitable to happen
With all these climate change it seems this typhoon map is obsolete....

Unfortunately Gwap they are located in the ring of fire and if the boffins are right it will only get worse!!Before it seems ,the south got away with minor happenings but over the last 2 years it really has increased and lots of my wife's friends or people she knows are dying through floods or earthquakes.It saddens me deeply
As with any statastics the average risk may be high or low but even in a low risk area there will still be that freak typhoon like in Mindano 2011 December .. this area is pretty well typhoon low risk and quakes to BUT still there is always that risk on that one freak occurance.
Interesting to read thanks for posting

My first filipina wife's family is from the South...her family suffered a couple of big life changing quakes over the years..taking them to ground zero twice. They were the lucky onesUnfortunately Gwap they are located in the ring of fire and if the boffins are right it will only get worse!!Before it seems ,the south got away with minor happenings but over the last 2 years it really has increased and lots of my wife's friends or people she knows are dying through floods or earthquakes.It saddens me deeply
I've known about the ring of fire from when I first started courting my then wife..you don't appreciate the force of nature until you are yourself confronted with it and seen first hand the misery it causes
You shouldn't take everything to heart MysticaLife's too short
I notice housing developments are offering a wonderful view of Lake Taal on the perimeter of the volcano there....thus offering a dweller the first opportunity to see an eruption...
Well, that would certainly get you out of bed in the morning.
I speak from personal experience incidentally, as I was living 10 miles from the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, back in 1991.
Apart from the obvious 'inconvenience', we also lost the roof of our apartment, then most of our stuff, when it was looted.
Can be said for so many developments all around the world..........I say live a life and fill the unforgiving minute.I notice housing developments are offering a wonderful view of Lake Taal on the perimeter of the volcano there....thus offering a dweller the first opportunity to see an eruption...
