WPAC: MANGKHUT - Post-Tropical

[ejeraldmc]

BT was at 145 knots but this is strengthening rapidly. Look at how warm the eye is and the ever expanding cloud tops. I'd give this 160 or higher. What a monster.

Cold dark grey ring developing just before landfall

Looks like a full CMG ring to me

For those that have knowledge of the area

I'm helping Josh navigate into position and need a little info. Needless to say time is of the essence.

I found the spot for him at Magapit bridge but he might need to adjust further to the N and E.

Any idea if gonzaga is viable? Thinking I've found a spot there at the town hall but can't find much into about other structures. Has to be a concrete building...

Thx in advance

Either pm or reply here.

Not looking good for Cagayan. This is no Haima. It's strengthening once again

[mrbagyo]

I'd give that 155 knots easy

The way this is moving right now. Is it possible that it will just hit the tip of northern luzon? And if that will be the case this wont weaken right since it will still be moving through waters or land interaction will disrupt it?

Oh boy...

Been there before during Lawin / Haima. It's a small town but I don't know if it has a hotel. Best bet is the municipal hall.

We're trying to get in touch with the municipal hall right now.

How long of a drive is it and do you know the conditions of the road?

Last few frames seem to signal the westward turn right into Cagayan. Either way, just grazing the coastline will be enough to disrupt the eyewall, no matter how ridiculously intense Mangkhut is.

I'm not sure but I believe this is the best appearance of Mangkhut ever since it became a Category 5 super typhoon two days ago.

Ic. Another question.. Is the condition going to get worse in the ncr the next few hours? Or it will be just like this until it pass?

[mrbagyo]

It's still about an hour drive

[Highteeld]

Definitely some last minute intensification there

[xtyphooncyclonex]

Measured 91.7 km/h here in Cebu City

[Highteeld]

This typhoon is exceptionally intense. WOW. Just WOW!!!

Thanks. He got in contact with the muni hall.

Any idea on the conditions of the road?

Sorry but I got no idea right now.
