Typhoon Frank hits Phillipines


"As of the latest count of the country's disaster response and management office, nearly 300 people were confirmed dead following the onslaught of Typhoon Frank over the weekend.

The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), using figures from the department of Health, added that at least 1,000 people are reported missing including the passengers of the ill-fated M/V Princess of the Stars.

The NDCC, in its 6 p.m. bulletin Tuesday, reported that 198,224 families from 1,898 barangays in 207 municipalities were affected by the typhoon.
It said that 45,149 families were evacuated to 439 evacuation centers across the country."

Re: Typhoon Frank hits Phillipines

"Local schools and public transport resumed normal operations yesterday afternoon, as tropical cyclone "Fengshen" continued to move away from Macau and made its way to neighbouring Hong Kong.

All signals were lowered at 6:30 pm yesterday.

The magnitude of the cyclone reduced, and was located 120 kilometres north of Macau's coast, sweeping northwestward at a speed of 15 kilometres per hour, according to the update released at 1:28 pm yesterday by the Weather Bureau."
