Major
Typhoon Nari hits the Philippines
Typhoon
Nari hit the main Philippine island of Luzon Friday night local time
as a Category 3 typhoon with 115 mph winds. The core of the storm
passed about 80 miles north of the capital of Manila, and the storm
dumped torrential rains in excess of ten inches to the northeast of
Manilla, according to satellite estimates. Passage over Luzon
weakened Nari, and the typhoon is now emerging into the South China
Sea between the Philippines and Vietnam as a Category 2 storm with
105 mph winds. Nari has about two days over water to re-intensify
before making a second landfall in Vietnam around 18 UTC on Monday.
The 5 pm EDT Friday Joint Typhoon Warning Center advisory predicts
that Nari will re-intensify to 110 mph winds, just below Category 3
strength.

emergency services said.
