Super Typhoon in Philippines South East
Saturday, 24 December 2016 23:08
Written by Greg Mossop
The alerts are out as a powerful late-season typhoon Nock-ten (Nina local name), with PARA activating the Ham Emergency Radio Operations (HERO) as it is to make landfall.
Roberto Vicencio DU1VHY reports the effects are being felt in the south eastern portion of the Philippines with Typhoon Cyclone Warning Signals raised in the Southern Luzon and the Bicol Region.
The HERO network is using 7.095 MHz nationally while each local club is on the 2-metre band.
Authorities have urged hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes on coastal areas with winds up to 240 kph, but the typhoon was expected to weaken over land.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration forecast a storm surge in parts of the country, along with heavy rains and flooding.
The typhoon was projected to weaken as it passed over the central area including the capital Manila.
