Posted by Dominic JEAN December 22-29, 1947 - Devastation mostly at the Bicol Region and Southern Tagalog (from Sorsogon to Cavite. Winds of 150 kph were estimated to have created heavy destruction mostly to residential areas in southern NCR (Cat 2) - similar track to Milenyo 2006 DADING (Winnie) June 26-July 3, 1964 winds of 160 kph hit directly NCR and the adjacent northern towns with heavy flooding..."the worst typhoon, "Dading," in over eighty years had hit the city. Thousands of trees were uprooted, hundreds of houses were damaged, 400,000 were made homeless, and forty persons were killed. It is impossible to describe a typhoon! When terrific winds up to 150 miles per hour which shift directions from cast, to west, to north, to south, are joined with tropical rain, no house, however well-built, is waterproof. People have to wait it out for several days. Phone, water, and electrical facilities are soon cut off. And the tensions mount when people are cooped up together as helpless victims of the elements." - E. G. Homrighausen (European priest arriving after Dading hit) - all cities sustained severe destruction - track similar to Yoling 1970 WELMING (Emma) Oct.31`-Nov. 8, 1967 a supertyphoon (220 kph)as it ravaged N.Samar and Sorsogon, it weakened with 120-150 kph winds in NCR destroying many in southern NCR and outskirts - track very similar to Milenyo 2006

I have only focused on its effects on NCR as to the plans of having a list of the destructive ones that crossed NCR.More info on their official velocity, casualties and damage is greatly accepted. Thank you. Mike, save mo na lahat ng nakasulat dito para after the licensure exams finalize na natin ang lahat ng records and stats.He he he he.Oy dont forget the list I gave you earlier ha.
