Gust of 235 miles/hour? That's half the speed of a Jet airplane. Sticking one's head out of a vehicle moving at that speed would be hard to imagine!
I hope everyone is safe and secure.

Just watched the radar images on national TV. Wow! Katrina hurricane had sustained winds of 125 mph and this is hitting 200 mph!
Fremer's in Manila for an audio show. He reports though that Manila won't bear the brunt of the storm. Here he is with some diehard audiophiles in their audio bunker in the Phillipines.
seated 2nd from left is our very own dafos
So far only light rains here in Manila. We're doing ingress for the show later this afternoon. Even if we aren't bringing bug guns, we're worried.
Landfall made earlier, reports from down south not quite in yet, in other words no really bad news. Let's pray it stays that way.

I know all of them except for Mikey 
We're all part of a rather large group from wiredstate.com. Great mix of DIYers and Hi-enders, music lovers all.

Nasty is an understatement. A very tragic event that happens on the eve of the 10th staging of our local Hi Fi show which is the reason Michael Fremer is here as a guest of honor and to do a workshop on proper analog set up. I'm sure many local audiophiles feel more than just a twinge of guilt as we enjoy this festive affair while so many of our countrymen, if they were lucky to survive, now find themselves in such a desperate situation. Limited feedback due to downed communication and power lines in the typhoons path indicate extensive, if not catastrophic, damage and destruction to a country already battered by so many natural disasters these past few months.

Hello, dafos. Unfortunately, it looks like you are correct. It may be a while until we hear back from our members over there. Our prayers and thoughts are out to them right now.

sounds like manila was spared from a live report on CNN. No word on the south. May be days before the extent of damage is known there.
Unfortunately not according to this, which I just now ran across. http://news.yahoo.com/over-100-dead-typhoon-slams-central-philippines-134424159.html Just looking at the photos, this was a catastrophe.
