MANILA – Typhoon Yinxing has struck the northern Philippines, bringing powerful winds and heavy rainfall that have damaged homes, toppled trees, and cut off power lines, Nov 8.
Videos shared by residents in Cagayan province show intense winds sweeping through the area, resulting in downed power poles and broken tree branches. Yinxing made landfall on Thursday in the northernmost part of Luzon Island, triggering heavy rain and gusty winds that impacted local communities.
In preparation for the typhoon, authorities had evacuated at least 17,000 people to temporary shelters to ensure their safety. The government is on high alert and has mobilized resources to assist affected residents, although no serious injuries or casualties have been reported at this time. (TNA)
