According to the latest weather bulletin from PAGASA, yhe eye of the Typhoon ("HAIYAN") with local name 'Typhhon Yoalnda' over the Pacific Ocean was located at 1,411 km East of Mindanao (7.4°N 139.1°E) with maximum sustained winds of 150 kph and gustiness of up to 185 kph. It is forecast to move West Northwest at 30 kph. This weather disturbance is expected to enter The Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow early morning (November 7). It is expected to make landfall over Samar-Leyte Provinces by Friday (Between 11am-1pm, November 8) and to exit The Philippine Area of Responsibility by Sunday Early Morning (November 10).
Due to its very wide diameter at 600 kilometers, the feared Super Typhoon Yolanda will probably batter the entire Visayas region including the quake-hit Bohol, and some parts of Luzon, Bicol, and Northern Mindanao. Some provinces could be placed under public storm warning signal number 4. The report said the Office of Civil Defense in Legazpi City is preparing for preemptive evacuation of residents in flood and landslide-prone areas there.
