While damaging winds are a concern, the greatest threat will be life-threatening flooding from days of torrential rainfall.
"A total of 300 to 600 mm (12 to 24 inches) of rain is expected to be widespread," stated Douty. There will even be localized amounts upwards or in excess of 900 mm (36 inches). Such rain is sure to trigger severe and life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
"The most significant rain will fall in the mountainous terrain of northern Luzon," added Douty.
The same general area was hit hard in August of 2013 by Typhoon Utor (Labuyo). I know they are used to getting hit but it has to be tough living there.
