Migrating from Yahoo Groups to Google Groups (Effective Immediately)

Dear Fellow Typhoon2000.com Subscribers,

Due to the poor service of Yahoo Groups, I am now transferring all of your email to Google Groups. Feel free to accept this new invite for you to continue receiving email updates on upcoming tropical cyclones threatening our beloved country, the Philippines.

Why the change? As you know during the recent Super Typhoon Mangkhut (Ompomg), email blasting of our updates was delayed often with delay times reaching almost a day. Thus, my decision to change to Google Groups which is now one of the best.

A separate EMAIL INVITE will be sent to your email addresses. Kindly click the ACCEPT THE INVITATION on that email, shown at the very bottom of that email.

Now, in the future if you wish to unsubscribe kindly send me a personal message to t2kstormupdates@gmail.com and I will be happy to remove you in my list.

I hope you will continue to stay with us in watching the skies along the eastern horizon. May God always spare us from these natural tempest. Stay safe always and spread the word.

God bless us all.

Sincerely,

David Michael "Mr. Typhoon" Padua
