ANALYSIS

  1. If my calculations are correct, the northern parts of Metro Manila will be close to the center of Santi [via @bicolanodevil] [10/30 11:33]
  2. Based on latest bulletins, this will be very very close to Metro Manila from tonight until tomorrow morning. If I am calculating this right, this should pass Metro Manila between midnight until early morning. Midnight tonight that is. Storms at night poses more problems so be sure everybody is where they should be before night falls [via @bicolanodevil] [10/30 11:25]
