Typhoon Usagi Brings Storm to the Philippines

The Philippines is currently bracing for Super Typhoon Usagi, which is set to make landfall in the northern part of the main island of Luzon on Thursday, with authorities evacuating thousands of people in the affected areas. The storm is the fifth major storm to hit the country in just three weeks, causing flooding, uprooted trees, and major damage in Cagayan province. The UN disaster office has sought $32.9 million in aid for the country. The storm is predicted to make landfall on Catanduanes Island late Saturday, with authorities evacuating hundreds of residents from the island.
