L007-FILIPINAS TIFON RAGASA
STORY: Super Typhoon Ragasa unleashed strong winds and heavy rain on Cagayan on Monday (September 22), causing trees to sway and large waves to form along the coast of the northeastern Philippine province.
Footage by the local risk management office showed strong winds and rains pouring down on the coastal town of Santa Ana. Reuters was able to confirm the location of the footage from the buildings, road and coastal layout, vegetation and surrounding islands that match file and satellite images. Reuters was able to confirm date of footage authorities at the disaster and risk management office.
Authorities suspended work and classes across Metro Manila and large parts of the country. State weather officials also raised the highest typhoon warning over the remote Babuyan Islands to the north of the main Philippine island of Luzon, urging residents in low-lying and coastal communities to evacuate ahead of storm surges and possible flooding.
Packing maximum sustained winds of 205 kph (127 mph) and gusts of up to 250 kph, Ragasa was forecast to make landfall or brush past the Babuyan Islands around mid-day before crossing the Luzon Strait.
Philippine forecasters warned of widespread power outages, landslides, and dangerous seas as the storm's outer bands began lashing northern Luzon. Airlines have cancelled more than a dozen domestic flights, mostly on Luzon routes, while ports have suspended ferry services.
