          Typhoon Usagi Leaves at Least Two Dead in Philippines

By  Cris Larano 
MANILA–Typhoon Usagi, the strongest tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines since 2010, left at least two people dead and two missing as it pounded the Southeast Asian country’s northernmost islands especially hard before moving on toward Hong Kong on Sunday.



Reuters
Fishermen ride on their boat as dark clouds loom over the city brought by Super Typhoon Usagi in Navotas City, metro Manila, on Sept. 21.


Usagi delivered winds with gusts of up to 250 kilometers per hour on Saturday, when it passed through the northern tip of the main island of Luzon. Separately, further south, Manila was not in the full path but still got hit with heavy rain.
“Manila Bay is calmer today than it was yesterday…. It’s still raining and windy,” Mon Lozano, a central bank officer, said Sunday of his observation from a window in his room at the Sofitel, a hotel in Manila at the Cultural Center complex whose main restaurant facing the bay was damaged by a storm surge a few years ago.Advertisement
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said two passengers drowned and two others were missing in a mishap on Friday tied to Usagi. By then, Usagi was creating huge swells in waters off northwestern Luzon island, where the boat capsized. Boat travel became increasingly dangerous.
Usagi had been rendered virtually stationary for days by a high pressure area off Japan and only started moving towards Luzon Strait, the channel between Luzon and Batanes islands, on Thursday as the subtropical ridge started to recede.
Elsewhere in the Philippines, disaster officials said Usagi stranded thousands of passengers in seaports and airports as flights and boat trips were canceled. Roads and bridges, mainly in the provinces in northern Luzon, were rendered impassable by overflowing rivers and landslides, while power supply and communications were interrupted.
The weather bureau said Usagi’s impact lessened after passing through the Batanes islands, with maximum winds dropping to 195 kilometers per hour, as it headed in the direction of Hong Kong and southern China.
Batanes Gov. Vicente Gato, in a radio interview Saturday, said strong winds had cut the power supply, interrupted communications on the island and uprooted trees. The islands of Batanes are often visited by typhoons, he pointed out, and its residents are used to such weather disturbances.
The Philippines, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, is hit by around 20 tropical cyclones every year.
