Twenty-two people were killed and seven others remain missing as typhoon “Emong” (international name: Chan-Hom) is leaving the Philippines after devastating the country’s northeastern coasts, disaster relief authorities said yesterday.
The tyhoon, locally known as Emong, has also displaced nearly 10,000 local residents since it slammed into the Northern Luzon region late Thursday, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said in its latest bulletin.
According to the official report, low-lying villages and towns were flooded, a boat capsized, a dike collapsed and in parts of the typhoon-hit areas roads and bridges remain unusable.
The weather forecast said the typhoon is moving northeast at a speed of 11 kph with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph. It is forecasted to arrive some 520 kilometers northeast of Aparri town of northern Cagayan province yesterday evening and head towards further north.
