Deadly storm lashes northern Philippines, kills 14 in landslides and floods

Severe Weather Hits Northern Philippines

A powerful storm wreaked havoc across the northern Philippines, causing landslides, floods, and swollen rivers that resulted in at least 14 fatalities, according to disaster-response officials.

Tropical Storm Yagi, with sustained winds of up to 75 km/h and gusts of up to 125 km/h, passed through Paoay town in Ilocos Norte province before heading into the South China Sea, potentially strengthening into a typhoon on its way towards southern China.

Warnings of ongoing landslides and flooding persisted in various northern provinces, emphasizing the risks posed by the storm. In addition to the loss of lives, thousands of travelers were stranded as sea travel was halted, and flights were suspended due to the challenging weather conditions.

Yagi, locally known as Enteng, brought heavy rains to Luzon, including the capital region of metropolitan Manila. Classes and government work were suspended as the storm continued to impact the region.

The disaster also hit Antipolo, claiming several lives in landslides and drowned in rivers. Rescue efforts were underway to find missing individuals swept away by the deluge.

Despite the challenges posed by frequent typhoons in the Philippines, the nation remains resilient. Situated in the “Pacific Ring of Fire,” known for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, the country faces numerous natural disasters each year, reinforcing the importance of preparedness and response efforts.

As the nation navigates through the aftermath of this recent storm, the spirit of resilience shines through, showcasing the strength and unity of the Filipino people in the face of adversity.
