Bagyo

Tropical storm Sendong blew over us last night. It is very late in season for bagyo. This was nr 27. Northern Luzon is right in the taifun highway, we only get its tail with stronger winds and heavier rain. Very seldom taifun hit Cebu. Latest strong one was 1986.

News report 231 dead, mostly in mud slides caused by heavy rain. Northen Mindanao was hit hard.

Only casualty here was internet broken, came back now 5 pm.

We can see Mt Kanlaon in neighboring Negros. This is an active volcano. Maybe one lucky day I experience some lava flow, or pyroclastic flows, and survive. Fire is one of wu xing.

In pic Mt Kanlaon, an active stratovolcano at 2.435 m in Negros Occidental, shot from Panagsama.


Word of the day: bagyo = taifun
