MANILA, Philippines - Eight people were confirmed killed and six others are missing as typhoon Nanmadol continues its exit path out of the Philippines and towards Taiwan.
Nanmadol (local codename Mina) continued to dump heavy rain over most of the country's northern sections as it carried winds topping 120 km/h near the centre, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said, citing a Pagasa weather bureau report.
As of 1.30pm Sunday, Pagasa had lowered its public storm signal levels to ‘Level 1' in the provinces of Cagayan, Apayao, Abra and Ilocos Sur.- Earlier, on Friday evening, Pagasa had raised its public storm signal warning level to a high ‘Level 4' as Nanmadol carried 210km/h winds and a rainfall rate of 15-25 millimetres per hour.
- By yesterday, as the typhoon slowed down, the rainfall it dumped was significantly less at 10-20mm per hour.
- According to the NDRRMC, Nanmadol affected 108,788 people in four northern regions of the country.
- Due to the extensive damage it suffered, the province of Ilocos Norte in the Philippines' northwestern tip, was placed under a state of calamity.
Some 5,000 families, or 19,000 people, from the province are now staying in evacuation centres after the typhoon ravaged their houses. Twelve road sections in Ilocos Norte were also damaged, all of which are impassable to traffic except for two roadways.
The provinces of Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Ecija, the Cordillera Autonomous Region, Baguio City, Benguet, Ifugao, Mountain Province and Kalinga also suffered similar as landslides rendered several roads impassable to traffic.Source: Agency
