Web timer for 137 minutes
You are starting the 137 minutes countdown again while sheltering from a dangerous storm signal, after the first run ended without an official all-clear. Keep away from windows and remain in the safer interior part of the building. Use the renewed countdown as a practical check-in point, not as proof that wind, rain, flooding, or debris outside has eased.
While you wait through a second cycle, a silent device helps avoid sudden noise in a crowded evacuation centre or a tense household. Keep the screen visible if practical, and rely on vibration for the ending alert. Before settling back into place, check that silent mode has not also disabled vibration and that the device has enough battery for the remaining wait.
When the alert interrupts your quiet activity again, pause before returning to cooking, work, travel, or cleanup. Check the latest PAGASA bulletin and instructions from your local government unit, since a countdown ending does not cancel a tropical cyclone wind signal. If shelter guidance remains unchanged, note what you were doing and begin the next waiting period without moving into exposed areas.
Frequently asked questions
What could make the shelter wait longer or shorter than this countdown?
A new PAGASA bulletin or local government instruction may extend the wait if damaging winds, flooding, or blocked roads remain a risk. An official lowering of the signal or a local all-clear may shorten it, but the alert alone does not.
What if the storm warning ends before or after the second countdown finishes?
If authorities give the all-clear earlier, follow their guidance and leave shelter only when the route is safe. If the warning continues after the alert, stay sheltered and set another check-in point while monitoring official updates.
