The typhoon blew out of the Philippines early on November 15 as another dangerous storm drew closer, threatening an area where scores were killed by flash floods and landslides just weeks ago, the weather service said.
“We rescued a number of people who had refused to move to the shelters and got trapped on their rooftops,” Gaspar added. Trees uprooted by flooding damaged a major bridge in Gonzaga, isolating nearby Santa Ana, a coastal town of about 36,000 people, Cagayan officials said. But the streak of violent weather was forecast to continue in the central Philippines, where Typhoon ‘Pepito’ is set to reach coastal waters by Sunday.
Many families were without essentials like sleeping mats, hygiene kits and cooking supplies, and had limited access to safe drinking water.
