Typhoons
There are some things to remember about typhoons,
first of which is this — not all typhoons are created equal. There used to be
only 3 storm signals when I was still a boy. Today, there are four:
Storm Signal No. 1 (winds of 30-60 kph may be expected in at least 36 hours or
intermittent rains may be expected within 36 hours)
Storm Signal No. 2 (winds of greater than 60 kph and up to 100 kph may be
expected in at least 24 hours)
Storm Signal No. 3 (winds of greater than 100 kph up to 185 kph may be expected
in at least 18 hours)
Storm Signal No. 4 (very strong winds of more than 185 kph may be expected in at
least 12 hours).
