User blog comment:Andrew444/Will Tropical Storm 23W be responsible for what happened in the Java Sea?/@comment-25394636-20150225052510

Idk but quite off topic tho - Seniang or Jangmi's intensity may have been vastly and greatly underestimated by the agencies. I can recall that day December 29... By 10PM our basement/1st floor was flooded due to the intense and torrential rainfall. We were near the eyewall that time, as an eye was evident over the radar of Cebu. The rain had subsided yet it continued, suddenly strong gusts of wind had came. Weather station nearby recorded about 55 to 60 mph winds and it was terrifying for me because I am not used to this, thus it was at 1:30 in the morning.. When the worst came, I saw flashes of blue light which were perhaps transformer failures and explosions.. Doors were shaking and swaying. I heard the loud sound of tree branches swiveling and being blown by the wind. I saw the radar and was over the N eyewall. It was surprising because instead passing 75 miles south it nearly directly hit my place after taking a NW jog. Damage reports show cars thrown by mudslides and perhaps also due to the powerful winds.

Perhaps the equatorward outflow had brought some rough and unpleasant weather over the Java Sea
