The umbrellas appear to have sustained heavy damage from Jeff Masters’ imaginary 195 MPH winds.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Super typhoon Haiyan just broke all scientific intensity scales
http://sploid.gizmodo.com/super-typhon-haiyan-just-broke-all-scientific-intensity-1460295415
Writing for Quartz, meteorologist Eric Holthaus says that the super typhoon Haiyan about to hit the Philippines is the worst storm he has ever seen. With sustained winds of 190mph (305km/h) and staggering gusts of 230mph (370km/h), its “intensity has actually ticked slightly above the maximum to 8.1 on an 8.0 scale.” Update: It broke 235mph.
abc aus was trying to do the american super serious voice etc while doing a chat with someone there,
bombed out, so far no reported damage etc:-)
Lunch time news by ITV in the UK stated:- The highest wind speed ever measured on land!
I just had to laugh… This comment from someone on Gizmodo
ROFLMAO….
While the hysteria is clearly overdone, this was as bad as any storm we have seen where it made landfall. That being said, if one simply looks at accounts of typhoons in the Pacific, or for that matter the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 in the Keys, one can see that this in a genre of extreme events that have happened before and will happen again.
This is akin to the mischief pulled with the so called latest f5 ever ( never mind it was abnormally far south, in an abnormally weak season, both linked to overwhelming cold) but Doppler winds are one thing, verified measured another. So it is with the satellite estimates. Ask anyone at the hurricane center as to why recon is needed to verify actual wind ( even then its tricky because of formulas used). Its because real data trumps estimates.
Most global warming propagandists to not see it that way. Given their model driven ideology on forecasting and climate, they simply accept the machine rather than do the work needed to actually build the foundation. As remarkable, and it was, as this storm was here, it is probably just as extreme to see within 100 miles of this landfall target, there has not been a typhoon since 2006, the others being well north and south. We are not talking Florida here, we are talking the Philippines, further south. In addition the lack of strong typhoon activity the past several years in the path of this storm means water was not stirred up by natural means ( typhoons are part of nature) leaving it warmer than normal, but remarkably only by a relatively slight fashion. The system went SOUTH of the 500 mb ridge, abnormally strong, but further south than the heart of the season BECAUSE OF THE MAJOR TROUGH TO THE NORTH that is forcing cold into the far east now.
So if next week, in defiance of the CFSV2 2 weeks ago which had much of Dixie warm, turns out as cold as it looks now, will Masters comment on that if records fall in the east and south.
I doubt it
thanks for the wise words Joe
Thanks Joe!
UK ITV news – this massive storm had a span, active front, of 800 miles!
Amazingly the Guardian had video of what they called simply a typhoon showing evacuation and damage while running facts at the bottom. Among them were the fact that the Philippines have an average of 20 typhoons make landfall each year, and that wind gusts of 170 mph had occurred during the passage of Haiyan. Doesn’t quite measure up to the hype, does it. The people in the video didn’t appear to be in panic mode, showing this was nothing new to them. I bet that most of the damage is going to be from the tidal surge and flooding, as it usually is. The heavy forests will have absorbed much of the surface wind energy as they have over the eons. Otherwise there wouldn’t be much land left for humans to occupy.
I bookmarked the site of that picture. Good thing to stare at while I’m reading about the latest Warmist climate screams.
Fantastic reporting Steven… the Media folks are wetting themselves over 200 mph winds, lying to everyone, and creating hysteria over a type of storm which has happened many times in the past…
It’s sad, a simple Google search reveals how we’ve had many storms like this Worldwide over just the past 50 years… Are these Journalists just stupid or gleefully feeding the overhyped lies and hysteria of Global Warming Superstorms??
It might be instead all the hot air coming from these so called journalists that is the source of the unprecedented winds.
LOL. Hot air from Journalists is near record, perhaps the worst ever.
