Did the weather forecasting agencies commit a mistake

It is more fun criticizing

The family and I went on a vacation trip in a city 700 km away.  At the time we left, there was a TS 2 in the North and I thought the flight would be cancelled.  The weather at the airport was fine and there was slight sdistrubance at the middle of WPS;  otherwise the trip was uneventful. 

On the way home another typhoon Peipito was brewing at Bicol.  Again, this post was fearful that there would be a flight cancellation.  They announced at was singal no 5 at Bicol.  Fortunately for us, there wras not flight cancellation.  The flight had little turbulence after take off.   The pilot announced the weather was fine at Manila and no rains.  Which it was.

Meanwhile the typhoon Pepito pummeled Catanduanes and Quezon?

May be the typhoon had limited scope that was why.  We were lucky to come home without incident.
