Helpful Posts: The worst case scenario is quickly developing. A super typhoon that looks to become nearly stationary over 20 to 40 million people with nowhere to run to. It could drop as much a six (6) feet of rain in the next 4 days.
The worst that will happen to us is to lose our electricity and web connection.

Yikes! Stay safe!
Get all/any laptops & tablets charged now, get some decent films downloaded (Key Largo would be a good one) then even if the power goes you can keep yourself entertained......
Good luck!

All that is done plus water, food and candles. Key Largo is a great film.

Yes, been reading news reports. It sounds very serious and a significant threat to life and property.

Hope you stay safe Brian, it looks like Koppu is not going to move for a few days.

If it remains more or less stationary things will get bad fairly quickly. between the water ways clogged with garbage and the endemic deforestation mud slides and flooding are a certainty. Originally Posted by Stagecoach
