This is the probably one of the most top 12, the top dozen, of all storms ever seen on this planet. With the satellite or
in person. That’s how big this is. It is not as deep as Gilbert and Wilma in the Atlantic, but the wind speeds are
higher than those storms because of the eye is so small. This is just the most incredible picture I can show you. This
eye, right there just-it reminds me of Andrew, slamming into South Florida. As the eye of Andrew got small
somewhere smaller. Andrews eye was the most important part of that storm because that’s where the big wins were,
150,160 miles per hour. This storm is sandy-size in width. This is the entire country of the Philippines. There’s a lot
of water under the storm, there’s going to be storm surge, 50, maybe 60 feet, all the people along the eastern
shores of the Philippines will be moving out and getting to higher ground as a cat 5 hurricane,175 miles per hour.
Right now they’re thinking – they don’t fly planes into these storms out there. They’re thinking about 190 miles per
hour right now and it will still be 150 when it moves South of Manila. That’s the good news. The forecast is South of
Manila by 150 miles. Still will be damage in Manila. Still a lot of people out here. The biggest storm, even this is
smaller than the one’s that’s going to hit tomorrow, killed 1900 people in 2012. And it hasn’t been a good year for
the Philippines. Look at all of the storms that have crossed that nation. It has been ugly out there, and this is the
biggest one of the year so far. So, that’s why we say, it’s always typhoon season, though there comes and end of
hurricane season, water stay warm and it can be typhoon any month of the year. >> Chad, is there anything- in light
of the fact we’ve got this warning, we know it’s come, anything that people can do there? I imagine that the damage
could be extraordinary if people don’t pay attention at least don’t prepare for what is going hit them? >> The good
news is if there’s any area here is not as populated as Luzon up into Manila. We’ll lose people New York matter
what you can do. This is some point for some people islands unsurvivable storm. They want to get on the opposite
side of the island, because the upslope will make the rain and there will be massive flooding, winds, if you get a
wind at 175 or 190 miles per hour, doesn’t matter what happened right now.
