ST Juan - It's Still Here in Cebu!

National News said ST Juan is leaving today. But here in Cebu, ST Juan is still showing its strength. Strong winds still continues with heavy rains. Cebu City Disaster Coordinating Council (CCDCC) received reports on landslides and soil movements in the barangays. Erosion was reported in Sitio Kaparay in Barangay Kalunasan and Purok 3 Barangay Kamputhaw, while flash floods occurred in Sta. Terisita, Barangay Tisa.

Oscar Tabada, Mactan chief of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), said Cebu will have clearer weather tomorrow. 

He also said Juan produced rainclouds in Central Visayas even though the brunt of its landfall was in Luzon.

“You noticed the rain will suddenly appear and then it stops after a short while? That’s how Juan is affecting the other parts of the country,” Tabada said.

Super Typhoon "Juan" is the third storm with Signal #4 that ever hit the Philippines. Storm signal No. 4 is raised when winds exceed 200 kph. The last time PAGASA raised a signal No. 4 alert was in 1995 and in 2006 during typhoon Reming and La Nina, respectivly, which killed more than 700 people and damaged property worth over P5 billion. That's why the government is strictly monitoring the updates on this typhoon via the weather forecast of PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) hourly. They do not want that tragedy brought by "Ondoy" last year. All government units have been preparing for this since last year.
