| Typhoon CHEDENG (May 2011) closely resembles BUTCHOY track |
Interesting Facts:
Last Year (2011), exactly the same month of June, Tropical Depression "EGAY" and "FALCON" never make a landfall and Typhoon "CHEDENG" (May 2011) closely resembles BUTCHOY track.
Philippines is visited by 20 typhoons yearly and only 9 of them or 45% making a landfall. It is not only wind that is destructive but the rain volume that causes flooding and landslides to prone areas. So, we'd always better be prepared than making repair of the damages.
