This is not going to be good, I hope they make it through this ok.
Technically it should say "in recorded human history" but you get the point.

To put 235mph into perspective, that's close to double the power of Hurricane Katrina.

Shit, stay say over there.
That's tornado power but over a much larger area.

I've gone 209 on a motorcycle, and I raised my head 1/2" above the windscreen, and it wasn't pretty.

If you don’t want to live in the Phillipines anymore, just put wings on your house and fly the hell outta there.

A *destructive* landfall of Super Typhoon Goni underway - One of the most powerful tropical systems ever recorded on Earth is now packing 195 mph winds and 876 mbar central pressure
The landfall of Super Typhoon Goni could be the strongest landfalling typhoon/hurricane ever recorded on Earth, tied with Meranti and Haiyan.

Thanks for all the well wishes for my country GAF. But we're used to this sort of thing happening to us. We're well prepared for it.
Hopefully.

What sort of preparations has your country made for this and similar events?

Most ordinary citizens stock up on supplies once they know a storm is coming. And once flooding hits the government goes into disaster relief mode.
Typhoons are very common in the Philippines. This is not our first rodeo with them and we have learned to cope. It's not always successful, like when Super Typhoon hit our southern province of Leyte in 2013. Thousands of people died because of the incompetence of the previous administration. Duterte on the other hand, is always ready and at hand when a crisis strikes.

Living in FL, I’ve experienceda dozen or so hurricanes and that shit is scary. Best of luck to everyone, but I fear this is going to be an absolute catastrophe. Hope I’m wrong
