The typhoon and the northeast monsoon “will bring rough to very rough sea conditions over the seaboards of Northern Luzon, (the) eastern seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon, over the seaboards of Visayas and over the northern and eastern seaboards of Mindanao,” PAGASA said.

The weather bureau warned small vessels against venturing out to sea and warned of possible storm surges in coast areas.

The Department of Science and Technology’s Project NOAH has released a list of areas that could experience storm surges: http://www.interaksyon.com/article/100515/bantay-hagupit--project-noah-identifies-51-areas-vulnerable-to-storm-surges

We want to bring in a lot more supplies to cut down on panic buying," Aquino said at the disaster management meeting.

The move followed reports of stores shutting days ahead of the typhoon in order to raise prices of goods later.

"Many stores have closed in Tacloban," said Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla, referring to the capital of Leyte province in the central Philippines, where he hails from. "I think everybody is panicking at this point."

In Luzon, PAGASA said the Cagayan Valley, Cordillera and Ilocos regions will be cloudy with light rains.

“Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms,” the weather bureau said.

2 dead after Typhoon ‘Dodong’ passes Cagayan[//size]
Melvin Gascon   @inquirerdotnet
2:37 PM | Monday, May 11th, 2015
 

A father and his son were electrocuted while checking the roof of their house in Aparri, Cagayan, on Sunday morning as Typhoon “Dodong” (international name Noul) was approaching the province, police said on Monday.

Many of the people who evacuated from the storm’s path started to return home late Sunday night, after Dodong — the fourth and strongest storm to hit the Philippines so far this year — whipped coastal villages with wind gusts of up to 220 kilometers (137 miles) per hour.

Authorities said they were not expecting significant casualties after most heeded pre-emptive evacuation orders issued from Friday.

354-kph Supertyphoon ‘Hanna’ to hit PH

By: Dona Z. Pazzibugan
Philippine Daily Inquirer
01:44 AM August 5th, 2015



What has developed into the world’s strongest typhoon so far this year will enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday morning but will spare the country from landfall.

The weather bureau placed the maximum sustained winds of Supertyphoon “Hanna” (international name: Soudelor) at least 220 kilometers per hour, but the US Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in Honolulu said the storm was packing gusts up to 354 kph.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Hanna, the eighth cyclone to visit the country this year, would trigger heavy monsoon rains over most of Luzon and the Visayas over the weekend.

As of Tuesday, the cyclone already bore maximum sustained winds of 215 kph and gusts up to 250 kph and will likely intensify further as it barrels across the Pacific Ocean.

“It will possibly be a supertyphoon when it enters the Philippine area of responsibility on Wednesday morning. This is the strongest [typhoon] this year,” said state meteorologist Buddy Javier.

Pagasa categorizes as supertyphoons those that reach maximum sustained winds of at least 220 kph.

The storm was roaring across the western Pacific Ocean packing wind gusts up to 354 kph, according to the JTWC, which rated it a maximum Category 5.

Ten killed in Philippines, thousands flee as typhoon strikes

AFP By Joel Guinto
22 August 2015


 A worker cuts up a fallen tree on Kennon Road, a main road leading into the city of Baguio on August 22, 2015 as Typhoon Goni lashes the Philippines

Ten people were killed while thousands fled to higher ground as powerful typhoon Goni brought torrential rains to the northern Philippines, triggering landslides and floods, officials said Saturday.

Nine people died in Mountain Province and Benguet in the northern highlands after their houses were buried in rocks and mud. A man was killed in nearby Ilocos Norte province after he was hit by a falling tree, the national disaster council said in a report.

Three people were reported missing in flooded areas while seven others were injured. Close to 13,000 people had been evacuated by nightfall, the report said.

Typhoon Goni was 130 kilometres northeast of the Batanes island chain on Saturday evening, with winds of up to 185kph (115mph), according to the state weather bureau.

In the northern province of Abra, two straight days of heavy rains caused a major river to overflow, governor Eustaquio Bersamin said.

"The Abra river has turned into an ocean," Bersamin told DZMM radio.

"The rains were much stronger than we expected," he said.

Thirteen domestic flights were cancelled on Saturday, the disaster council said.

The storm is the ninth out of an average of 20 that hit the Philippines each year and is now heading to Taiwan, the weather bureau said.

Philippines Braces for ‘Catastrophic’ Typhoon Koppu

Mark Rivett-Carnac
@mrivettcarnac 
5:12 AM ET, 16 October 2015     

It is projected to drive 115 m.p.h. winds

Typhoon Koppu may have started as modest tropical storm but experts warn it could strengthen into a deadly super typhoon when it makes landfall in the Philippines on Sunday morning.

As it barrels out of the Pacific, Koppu is projected to drive 115 m.p.h. winds and a storm surge onto Luzon island, possible resulting in “a catastrophic flood scenario,” Robert Speta, a meteorologist with Japan broadcaster NHK World, wrote on his WesternPacificWeather.com blog.

It is estimated that the storm could take two days to pass over Luzon island on its way north towards Taiwan. As Koppu lingers it could release up to 35 inches of torrential rain, raising the risk of floods and landslides, the South China Morning Post reported.

The Philippines is no stranger to devastating storms. In November 2013, more than 6,000 people died when Typhoon Haiyan cast a 15-foot storm surge and 120 m.p.h. winds through low-lying areas.

MANILA - (UPDATE 4 - 3:53 p.m.) Typhoon “Lando” (international name: Kuppo) continues to intensify as it approaches the Isabela-Aurora area, where it is expected to make landfall Saturday night or early Sunday.

In an indication of how dangerous the typhoon could be, reports said officials of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, which has declared a red alert, will be briefing President Benigno Aquino III in Malacanang.

Public storm warning signal No. 2, which means winds of 61-120 kilometers per hour can be expected in at least 24 hours, has been hoisted over Isabela and Aurora provinces as Lando continued to move west at 15 kph packing maximum sustained winds of 130 kph near the center with gusts of up to 160 kph.

Meanwhile, Signal No. 1, or winds of 30-60 kph are expected in at least 36 hours, was raised over more provinces. These are:

Cagayan
Kalinga
Mt. Province
Ifugao
Benguet
Quirino
Nueva Vizcaya
Nueva Ecija
Bulacan
Pampanga
Tarlac
Pangasinan
Rizal
Quezon, including Polillo Island
Camarines Norte
Camarines Sur
Catanduanes

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration also said La Union, Abra, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Zambales and Metro Manila are likely to be placed under Signal No. 1 as the storm progresses.

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=23019.0

Pagasa Director Espie Cayanan said Lando, which has sustained winds of 175 kph and gusts of 210 kph, could strengthen as it got closer to the country.
Cayanan said another typhoon farther east and a high-pressure area north of the Philippines would hold Lando in a “semistationary” position over northern Luzon.

“It may be semistationary once it hits,” she said.

Although Lando will not directly hit Metropolitan Manila, Cayanan said the typhoon had a diameter of 600 km, so huge that even southern regions were likely to be affected by strong winds and rain.

Areas hit by the typhoon will suffer “heavy to intense rainfall” with possible tsunami-like storm surges in coastal areas, she said.

Northern Luzon on path of supertyphoon
Philippines News Agency - October 17, 2016
By Catherine J. Teves


COMMUNITIES in Northern Luzon risk experiencing the brunt of the typhoon with the international name Haima, which could intensify into a supertyphoon and make landfall there this week, the state weather bureau said.

“We are not discounting such possibility so communities there must already prepare accordingly,” weather forecaster Meno Mendoza of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

He noted that Haima, that will be named Typhoon Lawin when it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), is heading toward the country, moving over Pacific waters where it continues to draw the energy needed to intensify.

Citing the latest available data, Mendoza said Haima will enter PAR on Monday afternoon, move Northwestward and make landfall on Thursday in Cagayan province.

Haima is forecast to move across the northern section of Northern Luzon and head toward the Ilocos area, he continued.

The onslaught of Haima will likely affect the Batanes group of islands, as well as the Babuyan Islands, he added.

“Aside from heavy rainfall, Haima will likely fan storm surges in Cagayan’s eastern coast,” Mendoza said.

Winds of 220 kilometers per hour or more are also possible if Haima intensifies into a supertyphoon.

Landslides are likely, as well, since soil in some Northern Luzon areas might be saturated already due to the heavy rainfall dumped by Typhoon Karen there last week.

Super Typhoon Haima has rapidly intensified to Category 5 strength, and will be the second typhoon in four days to hammer the northern Philippines Wednesday, before turning toward southeast China late this week.

Haima was centered about 345 miles east-northeast of the Philippine capital, Manila, as of midday Wednesday, local time.

Infrared satellite imagery shows a classic, intense, west Pacific super typhoon with a large eye and an intense ring of convection surrounding it. The Japanese Meteorological Agency estimated Haima's central pressure had dipped to 900 millibars, and a satellite estimate from the University of Wisconsin estimated a pressure of 910 millibars Tuesday evening, U.S. time.
