EN: typhoon, storm
In the Philippines, this is the national excuse for class suspensions and a valid reason to eat instant noodles with egg. A bagyo isn't just a storm; it's an event. It has a name (like 'Yolanda' or 'Ondoy'), it trends on Twitter, and it's when you find out if your roof has a leak. It's the ultimate test of your 'diskarte' (resourcefulness) and your supply of canned goods.
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *baRiuS.
