| Typhoon Utor set to sweep into Philippines |
| 2006-12-10 |
| Typhoon Utor was set to sweep into the central Philippines on Saturday, a day after it forced the government to hastily shelve a gathering of Asian leaders on a resort island south of its projected path. State weather forecasters said the second typhoon to crash into the archipelago in as many weeks would hit Samar island, around 600 km (375 miles) southeast of the capital, Manila, late in the morning. Utor, with gusts of up to 150 km (94 miles) per hour, was upgraded from a tropical storm to a category 1 typhoon, the weakest level, earlier on Saturday. |

| #5 Art Bell of C2CAm says by his sources the storm will strike south of him, hence he believes he + family + Station should be safe and secure. |

| #4 I wouldn't think so, Shipman. Different vocabulary, seriously different sentence structure. Besides, would a buddy of 49 Pan's be worried about insufficient security being provided? |

| #2 CC3360, It can move in fast. Almost as fast as the Mayor will once the Typhoon hits. He will move fast to secure all the aid, at gunpoint, ans sell it to the needy. Go to the Shangrila hotel to ride it out. They have generators and the beer will stay cold. |

| #1 I'm in Cebu at the moment, and the weather (as of today) is hardly prohibitive. There's talk that the Philippine security requirements are grossly insufficient, leaving the ASEAN delegates vulnerable. Also, there's another constitutional drama brewing (The "CON ASS"). Shame, this place could do with an economic overhaul, and would do well to come into line with its Asian neighbors through policy change. Let's see what happens in January.... |
