Looks like around 5 or 6AM Saturday morning your time. But remember that the really bad conditions come well before then.

Rains also picking up here.....I don't think I'm gonna sleep tonight(who can???)

I am afraid heavy rains will never stop for 24 hours.

Light to moderate rain here, Antipolo reporting 2mm/hr

oh. so i need to wake up to capture mirinae's whole thing O_O well i feel bit threatened now. it seems that we must brace for both heavy rains and strong winds. i hope this won't cause a luzon wide blackout, just like when milenyo crossed metro manila in 2006.

Good evening guys! Just came back from dialysis treatment. Good afternoon? to our friends in the west. Here's an image I found that indicates rain amount. Hope it helps to give an idea of things to come later on...

Eye defined but not clearly visible. Maybe extremely pinhole in nature means it is extremely deadly.

Trust me, that's probably what's gonna happen.......That's why we have 2 emergency lights and a lot of candles right now.............We also have a battery operated transistor radio to keep up w/ the news....

Naga City was just reporting 25mm per hour rains about 30 minutes ago

That's a lot!!!

My wife called her parents back at Daet, Camarines Norte. Rains are still light to moderate but they said that winds are starting to pick up...

or maybe cloud-filled. haha. but yeah eye is more evident this time than the past hours. this storm is really dangerous, especially for us who will get a direct hit O_O

Yup, since their at the eastern side of the archipelago. My sister-in-law and her two daughters are going to travel by bus for Daet tonight. Still trying to dissuade them since the travel time from Manila to Daet is about 8-10 hours. They're likely to encounter Mirinae along the way, and that's not good...

Us too...we stocked up for at least a week.

Guys, ATM Machines could be offline for awhile...plan ahead now.

typhoon frank passed over metro manila last time, but the blackout only lasted for 4 hours. i wish the electric post here in my district will remain strong to withstand the typhoon-force winds from mirinae. however, i learned that meralco is automatically shutting down power to prevent more cases of accident.

Dissuade them more...They're plan is NOT a good idea...They're putting themselves in danger......
