It's been a VERY long time since Cebu City was hit directly with a typhoon. Last time i remembered was way back 1989 & 1991. Typhoons Ruping & Loling respectively.
I think it's about time. Hopefully it won't be as bad as it's predecessors.
dead silence and walay hangin bsag gamay sa gawas.. ingon akong kauban...
a prelude to a brewing tempest coming.....
Ruping was the worst that Cebu felt before... though If I can recall.. there was another storm before that.. NITANG , It came September 1984.. It was so strong that it uprooted the 'dakit' tree near our house...
It's International Codename was 'IKE' (Typhoon Ike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
This was way back 1984
Ike was one of the deadliest typhoons in Philippine history. Its heavy rainfall and winds killed 1,492 people. Between 200,000 and 480,000 people were left homeless in the wake of the storm. In Surigao del Norte, at least 27 towns were completely destroyed by the typhoon, leaving at least 304 dead. Some towns were washed away after Lake Mainit overflowed its banks, killing hundreds of people caught in the floodwaters.
Nearly 100,000 people were left homeless in Cebu and only one of the islands 21 radio stations was able to broadcast several days after the storm. About 70 percent of Surigao City was destroyed by Ike.
In all, roughly 1.6 million people were affected in the country and 1,856 were injured. A total of 108,219 homes were destroyed and 142,653 others were damaged.[7] However, President Ferdinand Marcos declared a state of calamity after Nitang's onslaught. Six years later, Supertyphoon Ruping wreaked havoc in the Visayas in November 1990.
