Casinos DESERTED
The weather forecaster has tempest signals over a number of provinces that will cross the island’s northern border from where Man-yi made its second landfall, with both its highest and second-highest tornado indicators.
In Dipaculao Municipality in Aurora state, about 2, 000 people were residing in crisis evacuation homes.
Some have stayed home to protect their property and cattle, or because they were wary of the warnings, said Geofry Parrocha, communications official of Dipaculao crisis company.
” Some of our people are truly hard-headed. They do not think us until the storms arrives”, Parrocha told AFP.
Before the storms, visitors left seaside resorts.
” Our services are deserted”, said Irene Padeo, booking agent of the L’Sirene Boutique Resort in Baler village in Aurora, as Man-yi neared.
” All of our outside goods have been brought home and packed.” We tied over all the sleep”.
On its current trajectory, Man-yi may traverse north of Manila and sweep over the South China Sea on Monday.
The late summer storms year saw the arrival of Man-yi in the Philippines because most hurricanes form between July and October.
The Japan Meteorological Agency reported to AFP that this was the first time a storm had sprang into the Pacific valley since records began in 1951, when four winds were clustered together just before this month.
