Super-typhoon Noru made landfall on Sunday, September 25, in the Philippines. Strong winds and heavy rains hit the main island of the archipelago. Authorities fear flooding and crop destruction. The super-typhoon made landfall at 5:30 p.m. (local time) in Burdeos, in the east of the country, according to the Philippine Meteorological Service.
Accompanied by winds of 195 km/h, Noru is the most powerful typhoon recorded this year in the country. He grew stronger with rapidity “unprecedented”according to forecasters. “We ask residents of areas in danger to obey calls to evacuate when necessary”alerted the country’s police chief.
The Philippines are hit by around twenty typhoons each year, a phenomenon that tends to worsen due to climate change caused by human activities and the consumption of fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas). Nine months ago, another super-typhoon killed more than 400 people in the center and south of the country.
