Tropical storm Linfa cripples Philippine capital


MANILA, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Government offices and schools were closed on Monday in the Philippine capital of Metro Manila due to flooding triggered by heavy rains because of tropical storm Linfa, locally known as Egay.


President Benigno S. Aquino III's office issued a statement after "accumulated rainfall" that reached the critical level, said Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr.

Agencies whose functions involve the delivery of basic and health services, preparedness and response to disasters and calamities, and the performance of other vital public services were not suspended.

Classes in northern part of the country were also suspended and some domestic flights were canceled, while ships and other sea vessels were not allowed to sail by the Philippine Coast Guard, the state disaster management agency said.

State weather forecasting agency said Linfa continued to move northward slowly and with estimated amount of rainfall from moderate to heavy within the 400-km diameter of the storm.

Linfa has maximum sustained winds of 75 km per hour near the center and gusts of up to 90 kph.

It is expected to leave the Philippines by Thursday evening.

Look at how the pinoy speaks as it Pinoy is super rich but in fact is a country lives on other giving out when disaster struck. Many decades of corruption and ignorance and is still continuing. Its not for you to refuse when many pinoy suffer from this disaster. They need China aid badly. Too bad Zero wing is a poor chap who cannot replace China aid.

And yes, for you to lick the boots of another imperial US colony master while claim you do not like imperialism. That is ironic!

China issues highest-level alert as Chan-hom heads for south-eastern coast

Chinese authorities have evacuated tens of thousands of people, cancelled scores of trains and flights, and closed seaside resorts as a super-typhoon with wind gusts of up to 200km/h (125mph) heads toward the south-eastern coast.

China’s national weather service has issued its highest-level alert, and said super-typhoon Chan-hom was expected to make landfall by early Saturday at Fujian or Zhejiang province.

Zhejiang’s civil affairs bureau said nearly 60,000 people were evacuated from coastal areas and more than 100 trains between the region’s cities have been cancelled, according to the country’s railway service.

All flights in and out of the seaside city of Zhoushan have been cancelled. The city has halted bus services and speedboat ferry services. Several tourist spots were also closed. In the nearby port city of Ningbo, 23 flights were cancelled, the airport said.

Several cities in the region have also announced the suspension of inter-city bus services.

Chan-hom has already left 20 people with injuries as it moved over islands in southern Japan, Kyodo news agency reported, citing the local government in Okinawa prefecture. The Japan Meteorological Agency warned of strong winds and high waves through the night.

The storm also dumped rain on northern Philippines and was expected to pass by Taiwan, where several flights were suspended. The stock market and public offices were closed on Friday in Taipei, the island’s capital, authorities announced.

Southern China has already been struck by another typhoon earlier this week. Typhoon Linfa displaced 56,000 people in southern Guangdong province.
