Super Typhoon Ragasa made landfall on Calayan Island in Cagayan province, Philippines, bringing destructive winds of 215 kph and gusts up to 295 kph. The impact raised the risk of storm surges exceeding 3 meters, endangering coastal communities. While neighboring regions such as Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, and Macau prepared for heavy rains, flight cancellations, and evacuations, the Philippines bore the brunt of the initial landfall. This event highlights the vulnerability of island nations to tropical cyclones and underscores the importance of preparedness and disaster management in mitigating the impact of such devastating natural disasters.
