Typhoon's Asian Name = FENGSHEN : God of wind [Chinese Translation]
Typhoon FENGSHEN was formed in the east of Mindanao Island and kept moving toward west-north-west, showing a track much closer to Philippines than the initial forecast of turning toward north. This typhoon has shown steady intensification since its birth, so islands that will be approached by the typhoon, namely Samar Island, Luzon Island (south), Catanduanes Island, will be affected by the typhoon. It seems that conditions for intensification is basically satisfied for this typhoon, but it is also possible that the land will give some impact on the intensification if the typhoon moves along the Philippine Islands.
My previous post at point number #5 reported on the typhoon. Latest tracker shows Manila was hit directly and the impact was deadly as the capital wasn't ready for it... OR, wasnt expecting it. My region in BICOL was spared the full force as it deviated course and headed straight towards Manila.

Look at the typhoon's course which changed directions or deviated from BICOL (circled in RED). Thank God for that!
Lets just hope the forthcoming ones will deviate as well. Have to do my maths now so that when it comes, I will be in Manila... hahahah... will keep all updated. Ciaoooo
