Philippines braces for typhoon Usagi, fifth major storm to hit in three weeks
Residents were taking shelter as a powerful typhoon approached Cagayan province in the Philippines. #Typhoon #USAGI made landfall on sparsely-populated coast in far-NE Luzon #Philippines . System had spectacular pinhole eye less than 12 hr ago, at its peak. But these tiny, intense cores are fragile & highly perishable. @EarthUncutTV is livestreaming it: https://t.co/0oJByin5qX pic.twitter.com/Vkvct8Z4nT — Josh Morgerman (@iCyclone) November 14, 2024 Typhoon #Usagi / #OfelPH is rapidly intensifying and has developed a pinhole eye. Winds are expected to reach 240 km/h when the typhoon nears the northeast tip of Luzon in the Philippines. pic.twitter.com/c1UehP7DBA — Zoom Earth (@zoom_earth) November 13, 2024 Super Typhoon Usagi went right over Aparri, Philippines. This coastal town 69K population is located on the northern tip of Luzon, Philippines. I went there in 2009 for typhoon Lupit. It is very vulnerable to storm surge. @zoom_earth track pic.twi...
