Posted by titojt The Dec. 1947 typhoon (internationally named Jean)was seared in the memory of my parents living in Cavite as the one that caused a bleak Christmas that year. Based on their accounts, it was as strong as Sening in 1970. The June 1964 typhoon (Winnie or locally named Dading)was very destructive bec. it was preceded by over a week of strong rains, which was due to the fact that it happened at the peak of the Southwest monsoon season, and also bec. it was earlier headed toward Northern Luzon before blocked by a high pressure ridge. Rare for a typhoon at this time of year to hit Southern Luzon.It destroyed giant mango trees in front of our house in Cavite. Probably stronger than Milenyo. The Nov. 1967 typhoon (Supertyphoon Emma or locally named Welming) passed the Cavite-Southern Metro area. The time of strong wind and rain was unusually long- from 7 am to around 4 pm, attesting to its large size. Cavite suffered large number of casualties due to floods, landslides and flying debris.It was fiesta time then in Cavite City, and ferris wheels and other carnival rides were smashed to pieces. Probably as strong as Yoling of 1970. Food prepared for the fiesta rotted as electricity was out for weeks. --Previous Message--

202.4.4.47
In response to the three unnamed typhoons, I would like to provide the following information:
: I have found six (6) notable typhoons (four
: were very destructive)that has passed
: through the National Capital Region (NCR) or
: commonly called Metro Manila. Eyewitness
: accounts confirm "eyewall
: experience" and passage on all six.
:
: SENING (Joan) October 11-15, 1970 - from a
: 275 kph typhoon in Catanduanes, It arrived
: at Metro Manila with 195-200 kph winds.
: Severe destruction mostly at the southern
: parts of NCR (Las Piñas, Muntinlupa,
: Pateros, Parañaque, Pasay, Makati, Taguig)
:
: YOLING (Patsy) November 17-20, 1970 - As
: claimed, the Manila International Airport
: (now NAIA) anemometer recorded a speed of
: 200 kph before it was destroyed. Severe
: destruction on all areas of the metro.
: Swaying of skyscrapers in Manila and Makati.
: Steel bells of San Agustin and Manila
: Cathedral belfries were nearly detached
:
: KATRING (Teresa) Oct.18-21, 1994 - A 120-140
: kph wind was recorded
:
: SENIANG (Bebingca)Oct.30-Nov.2, 2000 - winds
: of 120 kph were recorded
:
: ROSING (Angela) October 30-November 4, 1995
: - winds of 185 - 210 kph left the metro
: paralyzed for 2 weeks. Very destructive on
: all cities of Metro Manila.
:
: MILENYO (Xangsane) Sept. 25-29, 2006 -
: PAGASA was highly criticized for publishing
: a 110 kph recorded wind speed in NCR (and
: downgrading it into a storm) which did not
: conform to the typhoon's destructive
: effects. A highly disputed 130 - 150 kph was
: more favored as the actual recorded wind
: speed (some gave 195 kph on 1-min
: ave.).Moderate to severe destruction in all
: cities of Metro Manila.
:
: Below are three typhoons that passed through
: Metro Manila but I have no personal record
: at hand of their names, wind speed and
: effects of passage:
: December 22-29, 1947
: June 26-July 3, 1964
: Oct.31`-Nov. 8, 1967
:
: I hope I have answered your query. If
: anybody who has info on the last unamed
: typhoons, please feel free to inform us.
: Thank you
