Philippines clean up after Typhoon Nari
- 11 years ago
Typhoon Nari left a trail of destruction in the northern Philippines, triggering landslides and flash floods that killed at least 13 people, disaster officials said on Sunday (October 13).
The typhoon made landfall in the eastern coastline of Aurora province early Saturday (October 12) morning, uprooting trees and causing severe flooding as it crossed the northern provinces.
Cleanup operations have started in order to remove chunks of rocks blocking roads in several villages.
Typhoon Nari, with winds packing 130 kph (81mph) and gusts up to 150 kph (99mph), has slightly strengthened as it exited the Philippines Sunday and headed towards Vietnam.
Another tropical storm is expected to enter the Philippine territory on Monday (October 14), but the state weather bureau said it will not directly affect the country.
An average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines each year.
