Posted by antonboq Ive always maintained my belief that PAGASA is forever inaccurate and incompetent. And I have no qualms on sharing this belief to my friends. Im glad that your site has always linked up and probably even emphasized on non-PAGASA issued information as it gives me, my family, and my friends a better understanding of stuff happening in our skies Pero, really, I cannot believe that PAGASA could underestimate such a devastating typhoon (read: TYPHOON). In fact, as I was listening to the AM bands a day after the typhoon, PAGASA was boasting how much accurate their analyses are compared to that of the JTWC (I heard this from dzBB, if I am not mistaken, last Friday 1030) --Previous Message--

This isnt the first time this happened, I think. 
: Hi guys,
:
: It looks like our weather agency, again
: erroneously placed the intensity of MILENYO
: too low...even if the EYE becomes clearer
: and clearer - a sign of explosive
: deepening...their wind speed was still fixed
: at 130 kph!!! JTWC placed it at 115 kts,
: while JMA increased their winds surprisingly
: to 90 kts from 70 kts hours before it
: slammed into Bacon, Sorsogon and Legazpi
: City.
:
: The poor analysis of our weather agency was
: clearly evident, when MILENYO was over
: Lucena-San Pablo Area, they downgraded it to
: a storm!!! My goodness! how can they
: downgrade this typhoon - the eyewall's still
: intact when it passed over NCR! Nobody can
: be fooled, the overturning of 10-wheeler
: trucks, the downed billboards across EDSA
: and SLEX, the 27 downed NAPOCOR Power Lines
: across Quezon and Bicol - can easily say
: that MILENYO was really a TYPHOON either
: Category 2 or 3 in the Saffir-Simpson Scale.
: JTWC remained robust that they placed it at
: 105 kts (Category 3) while JMA was at 70
: kts...a far cry from PAGASA's 110 kph!!!
:
: All I can say...HELP US LORD!!!
:
: Kindly check out this article regarding
: their puzzlement on MILENYO - for me its
: very NORMAL!!!
