Should officially become an article

I think this should be an official article now. I live in Antipolo City right now and so far this typhoon was not really an ordinary typhoon right now. It may be a Category 2, but like what I've experienced right now at this moment, its like Typhoon Conson (Basyang) all over again. Hamham31 Heke!KushKush! 17:50, 11 November 2020 (UTC) [reply]

As someone who is from the Capital Region (Manila), I concur. Personally, I think this storm is closer to Typhoon Xangsane (Milenyo) and Typhoon Rammasun (Glenda) in terms of intensity and impacts. We might be seeing a historic storm here. Vida0007 (talk) 19:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

mph over km/h? 1-min over 10-min?

Hello! I'm just concerned about this sentence in the Meteorological history section:

Then, surrounded by favorable conditions for an intensification, Vamco continued to gain strength and reached its peak of intensity, with winds of 110 mph (175 km/h) and 10-min sustained at 80 mph (130 km/h) and pressure of 970 mbar, supporting Vamco a high-end category 2–equivalent typhoon.

It appears that the Meteorological history section of this article gives more precedence to miles per hour over kilometers per hour and 1-minute sustained winds over 10-minute sustained winds despite Vamco being a Northwestern Pacific tropical cyclone. This sentence makes it sound like Vamco is an Atlantic/Northeastern Pacific/Central Pacific hurricane. — Nairb.Idi9 (talk)

Added in by Miguel 04012010 with this edit. It's also unsourced, so I had to dig through the trackfile and JTWC's warnings a bit before I could confirm the data. I've now converted the units to km/h. Chlod (say hi!) 09:06, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ABS-CBN shutdown and the information gap

There is a little sentence right there in the Impact section which mentions an information gap caused by the shutdown of ABS-CBN. While I am certain it may have affected news coverage, I feel that they would've been affected by the typhoon as well, and the sentence was added to simply criticize the current response to the disaster. Of course I assume this was done to improve the article, but two of the references were about Typhoon Rolly and not Typhoon Ulysses, and would fit better in that typhoon's own page. Also, someone else put an inline comment thinking that this is an undue weight situation and that it must be discussed in the talk page, so here it is.

What do you think? RBolton123 (talk) 15:37, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly DUE, but maybe best applied to the Rolly article instead of this one. However, we should hold on this right now, since the extent of the impact has not yet been determined, as hundreds of areas are currently submerged in the water (which is flooding the news instead of more reports from the disaster agency). If an article comes out connecting Ulysses to the same idea, then maybe it could be kept. So wait on it for a bit maybe? Chlod (say hi!) 15:42, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Magat Dam and surrounding areas

Good day.

I think we need A LOT more info regarding Magat Dam and areas below it. The typhoon has caused a lot of rainfall and the dam is almost at its spilling level already. With all seven gates open, the inflow is still larger than its outflow; we are expecting widespread flood and damages.

Thanks a lot. I couldn't find any sources about it (that were not videos) so this is actually really helpful. I've been trying to find some sources for it for a while now, since Twitter isn't the best source despite the hundreds of requests for rescues. I'll put this in as soon as possible. --Chlod (say hi!) 18:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to contribute later this afternoon since I'm a bit sleepy now. This is something I could give for now. HiwilmsTalk 19:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I'll be sleeping as well. I'll continue working on this in a few hours. Hopefully coverage has improved by then. Chlod (say hi!) 19:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 November 2020

The request to rename this article to Typhoon Vamco has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

– The 2020 typhoon has already surpassed the damages caused by previous similarly named typhoons. The infrastructure damages in Marikina alone is estimated by the city mayor to be at Php 10 billion (USD 207.6 million), while economic losses at Php 30–40 billion (USD 622.9–830.5 million) according to an ABS-CBN report. It was also mentioned on CNN Philippines on air but I haven't found the video yet. DPWH mentioned a Php 4.254 million (USD 88.3 million) damage which is still more than the other three. HiwilmsTalk 19:18, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. As it stands now, there's even more impact to be assessed. Chlod (say hi!) 19:22, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wait more damage is expected in Vietnam. Since I'm a page mover, I'll do the other move. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 20:26, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support why do The Philippines get so many storms? Condolences to the affected areas. 108.35.187.79 (talk) 20:47, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
