On Sunday afternoon, super typhoon Noul raged into the Philippines, forcing many residents to evacuate for fear of landslides and flash floods. More than 1,200 residents in vulnerable areas were relocated to evacuation centers prior to the storm's arrival, which occurred at the northeastern tip of the island of Luzon.
Maximum sustained wind speeds have been reported at up to 160 mph, while maximum gust speeds have been reported at up to 195 mph. Additionally, in a period of two days, Noul could drop up to 20 inches of rain on the affected region.
The arrival of Noul in Luzon has been both a blessing and a curse for the farming residents. According to the charity World Vision, farmers had hoped that the storm would weaken but still provide sufficient rains for the crops following a severe dry spell in the region.
