Goni is expected to make landfall on Luzon Island in the Philippines on Sunday as a category 4 storm, and pass very close to the capital of Manila at category 1 strength or stronger.
Extreme intensification
Goni put on an extremely impressive bout of rapid intensification beginning at 0Z October 28, strengthening by 145 mph – from a 30-mph tropical depression to a 175-mph super typhoon, in 54 hours.
Super Typhoon Goni.

MONSTER Cat 5 Super Typhoon Goni is heading for the Philippines with max sustained winds of 155 knots! The most powerful TC on the planet in 2020. Heading straight for Manila with catastrophic impacts. Wish we could head there and deploy Surginator network. Hope all stay safe pic.twitter.com/Fj2quaic2r

Pre-emptive evacuations have started in coastal and landslide-prone communities in the provinces of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur, while Albay provincial government would order residents in risky areas to leave their homes. “The strength of this typhoon is no joke,” said a local disaster manager.
A week after deadly Typhoon Molave
Typhoon Molave last week killed 22 people, mostly through drowning in provinces south of the capital Manila, which is also in the projected path of Goni, the 18th tropical storm in the country.
Local officials cancelled port operations and barred fishers from setting sail.
Typhoon Goni, moving westward at 20 kph (12 mph) from the Pacific Ocean, will bring intense rains over the capital and 14 provinces nearby on Saturday evening, and threats of floods and landslides.
Meanwhile, another typhoon, Atsani, is gaining strength just outside the Philippines. Around 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year.
Typhoon Goni will make landfall on Sunday as the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines since Haiyan that killed more than 6,300 people in November 2013. And that is really bad news! More hurricane and typhoon news on Yale Climate Connection, Reuters, Strange Sounds and Steve Quayle.

IRGC And Basij To ‘Combat Covid’ As Iran Protest Anniversary Looms
Maryam Sinaee
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) will launch a new nationwide mission against Covid-19 on November 10, involving 54,000 Basij bases. The timing of the operation, four days before the anniversary of November 2019’s widespread protests, has raised suspicions that the IRGC is preparing for renewed demonstrations.
