Typhoon Usagi Brings Storm to the Philippines
ai generated text
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.
Typhoons are overlapping. As soon as communities attempt to recover from the shock, the next tropical storm is already hitting them again.
We expect thousands more to evacuate in the hours before landfall.
Landfall at or near super typhoon intensity is likely.
Under (emergency protocols), all the mayors must implement the forced evacuation, especially for susceptible areas.
Yesterday it was preemptive evacuations. Now we're doing forced evacuations.
There are many more evacuees in nearby villages but we haven't had time to visit and count them.
To those who have been ordered to evacuate, please do so for your own safety.
We know that it is difficult to leave your homes and possessions, but sheltering could save lives.
