Social Welfare Secretary Virginia Orogo said, According to our estimates, the damage will be huge, emergency shelters have received thousands of additional people to avoid the disaster, due to the impact of flash floods and unexpected landlides after the storm.

The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center said that after passing through the Philippines, the storm will head south of China with winds of 170 km/h, making landfall on the evening of September 16 or early morning of September 17. Many experts predict that the storm could cause large waves as high as 4 floors.
