I haven't seen yet information about if James Reynolds will chase Haiyan.

^He is going to Manila as of this moment. But according to his Twitter, the exact location of chasing is still unsure.

I suggest to go to either Tacloban, Leyte or to Cebu City. Tacloban is closer to the eye but Cebu is easily accessible.

I think Mindoro is the safest place to be if he wants to catch the northern eyewall, which seems to contain the strongest winds according to ACSAT. It's easy to go there from Manila. But if he wants to take a big risk, Samar and Leyte are the places to be.

What language do you speak AT HOME, then? What part of Leyte are you from?---------Back to the topic: Are there a lot of shoppers buying emergency equipment there? Here in Cebu, many people are aware of this monster and are starting their preparations.

Haiyan is just, WOW! Rapidly intensifying from a tropical storm to a category 4 in just 24 hours!


We speak in Waray. And I'm from Tacloban City. Northeastern part of Leyte which probably might feel the worst of this one. :eek:

Bright side is that this is a fast-moving storm AND I could experience a supertyphoon first hand.. lol but seriously speaking, I'm scared of this one.
We've already been praying here since last night.

I've checked JTWC using my tablet device, and it's working. So it's really just the computer.

By the way, is this our fourth super typhoon? It'll soon be our fourth Category 5. :eek:

Low-latitude and smaller size. Not a sub-880 mb system. Probably around 920-945 mb. I guess peak intensity would be around 915 mb before landfall.

Well haiyan has a higher number than that and numbers still increasing!

Both with PINHOLE EYES!

Wilma didn't reach higher dvorak numbers at the time because satellites are totally useless on measuring temperature of extremely small eyes

A bias-corrected post season analyze has Wilma at T7.8, which is second highest of 21st centry only below Monica



Well same here...satellite having a hard time with haiyan...but numbers are higher...

can you provide a link that you say is the second highest in the 21st century?

haiyan is a carbon copy of wilma, the eyewall probrably has winds of about 150-155 knots and pressure of around 870 or lower... :eek:

this is like the 100th wilma type storm over here...

I said don't overestimate the strength if storms, please. The storm is quite compact in size [not in wind radius] and in a low latitude. As I have said, the pressure is not even close to 880 mbar and is probably in the neighborhood of 920-945 mbar.

Bopha last year had a pressure of around 950 mbar at this state and had winds of 115 knots:

I think this has a pressure ~900 +/- 20mb. It was probably on the lower end of that estimate earlier today, a little weaker now as it's going through an ERC. The RMW with storms with pinhole eye is very small - and all that air has nowhere to go but up in such a small, confined radius. All that lift is going to seriously lower the pressure.

You really can't compare to Bopha because there were never recon measurements in Bopha. For all we know it could've had a 920mb pressure when that satellite image was taken - we just don't know.

those are just estimated pressures rounded off to the nearest 5 from JMA and really high (biased) for this type of typhoon with a pinhole eye...I'm comparing Wilma to haiyan because it is the closest any atlantic storm can get in typhoon territory intensity...

Wilma- 160 knots 882 mb...(Recon)

Haiyan??? 155 to 160 knots, pressure is lower in our area so i'm guessing 877mb- 5 mb lower...

PINHOLE EYE often gets underestimated big time...

If you don't know, Bopha peaked at 150 knots a category 5 before hitting mindanao...
