does any country out that way fly out hurricane hunters like we do?
I don't think so. I've only ever seen estimated wind speeds. I'm sure there are buoys that get passed over, though.

any live cams in the Philippines?
what sucks is it's like 2:20 AM there right now
early morning landfalling super typhoon

And there's another typhon coming right behind it.

Where do they go to survive something like that if not close to mountains

Depends on the country. They would probably be fricked but someone like Japan has strict architecture requirements something we don't do here to withstand storms like this.

local building regs are there to help accommodate each area for its biggest threat

That's the good and bad of every major hurricane that hits the Gulf. Structures that aren't up to snuff will be destroyed or damaged to the point they aren't worth repairing. If they are rebuilt, the new structures will be to modern building codes.
Southwest Louisiana and the LC area is going to be the site of, what I believe, will be some pretty extensive and beneficial studies. To have two major hurricanes make landfall in roughly the same area 15 years apart is a golden opportunity to study the impact of modern building code advancement. The chance to compare and contrast the aftermath of both Rita and Laura is invaluable for building on the Gulf going forward.

This AMSR2 pass of Typhoon #Goni is one of the most remarkable passes I've ever seen. Near perfect symmetry of very deep convection in the eyewall, with a prominent spiral band extending outward from the eyewall. My heart breaks for those in the path of this monster.

Alabama leads the nation in “gold fortified” homes, which is a standard brought on by the IBHS (Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety). Basically, the roof is connected to the walls and the walls the foundation. There is some searching under the roof, and longer, screw-like nails to bolt the roof in, and the windows and doors are “impact resistant” glass.
My agency has 550 claims for homes/condos/cars, and very, very few of those are the of the newer code. The ones that we do have claims with are due to shitty siding put up by DR Horton.
To date, only five states have adopted the code:
AL
MS
OK
SC
GA

Estimated winds on approach to landfall are ~195mph.

Goni is an absolute monster. It may likely end up being the most powerful typhoon to ever make landfall.

I have a flight out of Caramoran Monday at 8am, will it be ok?
