Scary
I hope those people managed to escape

I hope everyone is coping the typhoons.

I've only experienced two bad typhoons in Cebu. Good thing that we don't get much strong typhoons in the visayas region. Though feel sorry for fellow filipinos up north, they are the ones who get the strong and nasty typhoons every year.

Hawk don't take this the wrong way but to me the pic doesn't ring true - looks a bit like a still from a disaster movie

[DaveUK]

Dedworth, are you trying to insinuate Hollywood films don't potray real life or something?!

[hawk]

my fiancee lives there so i dont see why she would lie about this i will ask her what day it was taken

[hawk]

7 were killed in central manila were this photo was taken and 12 more killed in central luzon sorry saying something looks like a disater movie is wrong i wont take offence to your comment but i think the famileys of the the people killed that live there willmy prayes go out to everyone that are living there

more photos real not hollywood disaster movie

[Dedworth]

Hawk, thanks for the photo update. I'm sorry if you felt offended by my likening of your original pic to a disaster movie, I repeat no offence meant, looking at it again I guess with the big wave of water it was taken Manila Bay way or similar with a sea wall.

Tropical storms come with the territory in the Philippines, the recent one pales into insignificance compared with Ondoy in 2009 when 500 people perished. Regrettable that any loss of life is I think some perspective is required here.
