Tropical Storm Bopha becomes Typhoon Bopha

Great…just what I wanted to hear. But, really, we are preparing for Bopha and should be fine. The elementary school, the academy, and Koror SDA Church are all on the high ground. The buildings are all cement block walls and have cement roofs.

This track is more southerly than previously expected and “has greatly diminished the threat of damaging winds at Faraulep,” according to the National Weather Service in Guam. Bopha is expected to continue on a west-northwesterly track, with its center passing very close to the island of Palau on Oct. 2.
