SUPER Typhoon Karding left a trail of destruction in Luzon provinces on Monday, September 26, with at least eight people dead, including a group of rescuers who were scrambling to save villagers trapped in floodwaters, officials said.
Officials and local rescue groups paid tribute to the rescuers on social media. “They showed bravery and heroism in facing danger despite the perils to their own lives to fulfill their duty of saving other people,” the Bulacan police force said on Facebook. Three other deaths were reported by police, including a Bulacan villager who drowned after refusing orders to leave his house beside a swollen river.
In Aurora province’s hard-hit Dingalan town, more than 6,000 houses were damaged and a newly built evacuation center housing more 200 displaced families was battered by the fierce wind and rain but no injuries were reported, officials said. Marcos Jr. praised officials for evacuating tens of thousands of people before the typhoon hit, preventing more deaths, but expressed concern at how Karding and another storm that devastated central and southern provinces in December rapidly intensified into super typhoons.
Karding underwent an “explosive intensification” over the open Pacific Ocean before it hit the Philippines, Vicente Malano, who heads the country’s weather agency, told The Associated Press on Sunday.
