Philippines: Evacuations begin as powerful Typhoon Noru approaches

Firstpost  

Typhoon Noru, the 11th tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines this year, is expected to bring heavy to torrential rains over the capital region and nearby provinces Manila: A powerful typhoon shifted and abruptly gained strength Sunday as it blew closer to the northeastern Philippines, prompting evacuations from high-risk villages and the capital, which could be sideswiped by the storm, officials said. It gained considerable strength, transforming from a storm with sustained winds of 85 kph Saturday into a super typhoon just 24 hours later in an “explosive intensification” at sea, Vicente Malano, who heads the country’s weather agency, told The Associated Press. The typhoon’s eye could pass about 40 to 50 kilometers from metropolitan Manila, “which is nearly a direct hit,” Malano said. In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest recorded tropical cyclones in the world, left more than 7,300 people dead or missing, flattened entire villages, swept ships inland and displaced more than 5 million in the central Philippines — well to the south of Noru’s path.
