Typhoon Ragasa: Ragasa Pounds Philippines, Killing At LEast 3, Leaving 5 MIssing
The Philippines and Taiwan hunkered down Monday as Super Typhoon Ragasa delivered punishing winds and intense rainfall while lumbering east towards an eventual collision with southern China.
The storm intensified further as it moved northwest and was expected to make landfall on the sparsely populated Batanes or Babuyan islands by early afternoon, the Philippine weather agency said.
Maximum sustained winds were 205km/h at the storm’s centre as of 11pm Sunday (1500 GMT), with gusts reaching up to 250km/h as it moved toward the archipelago nation, the weather service said.
