So sorry read the wrong numbers Typhoon BOPHA as it stands for now will only be a nasty cat 4 (understatement).  
 I can't tell but it looks like there will be landfall or a very close brush to the islands of Palau.  Palau is a truly beautiful  resort.  http://www.palauppr.com/default-en.html


Bopha makes landfall in the Philippines as a cat 3.  For now it looks like eight of the Philippine islands will be affected.
