Tropical Storm Tino's projected path sparked anxiety due to comparisons with devastating storms like Super Typhoon Yolanda (235 km/h) and Typhoon Odette (195 km/h).
PAGASA's Engr. Al Quiblat clarified the similarity is only about the storm's direction, not its strength. He firmly stated that Tino is not currently expected to reach super typhoon status or those past high intensities, though officials still urge high preparedness.
