Philippines Aftermath for Chanchu aka Caloy

Headlines of the paper this morning "35 dead in Caloy's wake".
Most of those 35 drowned.

There was nothing more than an alert 2 and for a very short time alert 3 issued for anywhere in the area.
It was downplayed the entire time. The highest acknowledged winds I saw were 115kph and at the time I was recording 25mph winds here the highest alert was for 80kph (I believe it was 80?).

The person living on Manila Bay - I am in Makati City and we didn't get much here except the winds I noted. In Malate there were trees down that I saw last night (large, old growth trees) and there are a considerable number of branches/twigs down around here.

It must be much worse down south where the eye passed over.
