By the way Michael and Dominic, you may email me at jtranquilino@adb.org...I do hope to meet fellow storm enthusiasts like yourselves in the future (esp since the two of you are far more technologically equipped than myself- a good memory recall is my only advantage)...

: Wow Dominic you got a lot of info on those
: three typhoons there... While I had
: experienced 1964's Dading and 1967's
: Welming, please do not get the idea that I
: am that old (he he). I was not even in
: school then when Dading hit but I recall how
: bad it was. Welming however was the one that
: triggered my interest in typhoons. I was in
: Grade 1 then and I was playing crystal ball
: and I "predicted" having a strong
: typhoon hit our place, and 2 days later,
: Welming struck. I felt, so innocently, that
: I was the one that caused it, and was
: depressed for days, until my dad asked me
: why, and I told him, after which he
: explained what causes typhoons. So I
: researched and later found out Welming had
: been in the Samar area already when I was
: doing my crystal ball thing. Oh well….
: On archive information, I recall PAGASA had
: annual reports (stocked at UP library) which
: described memorable typhoons that struck the
: country. I remember reading some for 1964,
: 1967, 1970, etc. Also the UP library has
: microfilmed old newspapers which covered
: periods when these storms struck...(I recall
: Manila Times skipped publishing the day
: Dading struck, and published the next day
: how everything stopped when Dading hit-
: believe me storms were far more destructive
: in old times of low technology and limited
: development).
: Additional storms that hit NCR- Konsing in
: 1972- jtwc classed it as a cat 1 typhoon in
: Bicol and just a severe TS in Manila, but
: Pagasa classed it as a 200 kph howler in
: Legaspi and 130 kph cat 1 in Manila- lots of
: rain also since it struck in June. Pagasa
: initially classed Konsing as just a severeTS
: (110 kph) but I guess it went through an
: explosive deepening phase so that just 1
: bulletin later, Pagasa upgraded it to 200
: kph!
: Saling (Dan) in 1989- cat 1 typhoon
: affecting Cavite-Southern NCR. Lots of
: damage in lowland Cavite towns...
:
: Interesting storm (or storms) was Dadang in
: 1971- it backtracked from the South China
: Sea back to Southern Tagalog area (but JTWC
: considered this a regenerated typhoon
: Katring that passed Central-Northern Luzon
: earlier. Imagine if a typhoon as strong as
: Yoling or Sening would do such as loop!) The
: NCR was lucky in not having stong typhoons
: hit from the West....
: But then again Tropical Storm Barang in Oct.
: 1972, intensified into a cat 3 howler and
: slowed down in the middle of South China sea
: near lat. 15... This generated a storm surge
: that struck Cavite towns with great damage-
: again we are lucky nothing similar has
: happened again..Before this Barang passed
: Mindoro and caused strong Southwest monsoon
: winds and rain in the NCR...(I wonder why
: this was so when Barang was Southwest of NCR
: then?)
: Until our next exchange ...

: Thank you very much people. Now all I need
: would be the wind speeds, casualty count and
: damage cost.TitoJt, could you send me your
: complete name? sa email ko lang if you like
: so that we could acknowledge you in case we
: will use your accounts in our stats.So here
: let me reinstate the remaining three for the
: record:
: 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. I would visit PAGASA...dont
: worry
