If those trees had actually experienced 195 MPH winds, they would be horizontal.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Reblogged this on Catholic Glasses and commented:
Amazing . No trees are down. Are they sure that it wasn’t 19 MPH Winds?
From Fox News report:
Weather officials said Haiyan had sustained winds of 147 mph with gusts of 170 mph when it made landfall. That makes it the strongest typhoon this year, said Aldczar Aurelio of the government’s weather bureau
They must make light poles much much stronger there than in the US. Are they also aware that the base of those light poles are designed to break at a certain force? A force that I am certain would have been exceeded by a 195mph wind. Hell, even a 70mph wind will break the base bolts on those poles, I have seen it done in ND quite a bit.
Since storms are the norm in the Philippines, the folks there build things to reflect that reality.
4 deaths per Think Progress (3 deaths per link I posted on another thread – 2 from electrocution, 1 from struck by lightning, on an island nation with population 98 million). From the strongest storm in recorded history?
President Aquino was aiming toward zero casualties.
Perhaps all the CO2 we’ve put in the atmosphere caused atmospheric pressure to drop to Mars-like levels (it’s loaded with greenhouse gases, dontcha know)
drop the pressure a couple of orders of magnitude and the velocity ain’t such a big deal
The loss of coconuts is staggering.
Since there are no hurricanes here they have to lie about them there.
This was from the Australian ABC:
Looks like the locals were more sensible with their measurements.
So far three dead and seven injured. Bad news for those 10 people, but not exactly the catastrophic damage that was predicted.
Typical tropical storm…. no biggie

Tracy was a “super storm”. Haiyan looks to be Cat 1 if anything.
Compare the damage of Tracy to anything from Haiyan.

Categories are based on wind speed. I suspect that this tropical storm is high above in the atmosphere that we in the Philippines (based on observations stated in the OT) did not feel the effects on the ground). Corroborative evidence is that Haiyan/Yolanda ran at 39kph faster than the usual walking cruise of usually about 10kph.
I would like to believe that this is caused by prayers rather than post being more sturdy. Hehe.
