So like Haiyan only further north and over a more-populated area. Not good.

Not sure the people of the Philippines will be too impressed!

So have I misunderstood things, or did tropical storm atsani form directly out of the wake of Goni before it made landfall?

 

Edit: ah nevermind, looked in more detail and the low that spawned Atsani crossed very close behind Goni

Rolly /Goni passed over The Philippines  in early November and not a similar region is awaiting STS Ulysses (Vamco). Government agencies are trying to gather data from ROLLYph and should issue a report about how this huge cyclone affected the islands.

Survey by DOST-PAGASA and UPD-ICE aims to assess the damage to buildings due to Super Typhoon Rolly... will greatly help Disaster Risk Reduction and Management initiatives of the country.  Super Typhoon #RollyPh (#Goni) Severe Wind and Flood Damage Assessment
