The wind speed has reached 86 meters per second. Philippines hit by strongest typhoon in seven years – Abroad – News

Reaching the east coast of the Philippines, the typhoon had wind speeds of up to 225 kilometers per hour (62.5 meters per second) and gusts reached 310 kilometers per hour (86 meters per second), but as it crossed Luzon Island, the Goni lost slightly, the meteorological service said.

The typhoon has begun to move away from the Philippines.

The Meteorological Service had previously warned that catastrophic strong winds and heavy rains were expected in nine provinces south and southeast of Manila.

The Philippine emergency services initially reported that about a million people had to evacuate the typhoon, but later clarified the information, announcing that more than 421,000 people had been evacuated.

Officials also warned that in a worst-case scenario, a typhoon could hit 31 million people.

Meteorologists initially predicted that the typhoon would affect Manila as well, but Goni changed direction and did not affect the capital.

At dawn, Goni hit the province of Catanduanes, tearing down roofs and cutting down trees. One person died in typhoon-related accidents in the province and nine in the province of Albay.

In the province of Albaya, the typhoon caused floods, leaving several areas without electricity and causing other damage. Three people are considered missing.

In preparation for the typhoon, the international airport in Manila was closed for 24 hours and more than 20 international and domestic flights were canceled.

Goni is the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines since Haiyan, which killed more than 6,300 people in November 2013.

  1. Poi ci sono gli ultimi governanti che hanno vanificato ogni sacrificio perché se tu la chiami democrazia questa io so che da almeno 12 anni è sospesa.
