Northern Philippines prepares for typhoon Kong-rey with wind speeds reaching 115 mph. Local communities rushing to evacuate while still dealing with aftermath of previous devastating storm

Northern Philippines residents face a new weather crisis as typhoon Kong-rey moves toward their region (which is still recovering from a recent devastating storm)

The local government ordered mandatory evacuations on wed-10-30 in several northern provinces‚ while emergency shelters — already packed with people from the previous disaster — try to make extra room. The earlier storm left 182 people either dead or missing

Meteorologists report that Kong-rey shows dangerous characteristics:

  • Wind speeds up to 115mph
  • Gusts reaching 143mph
  • Location: 217 miles east of Cagayan
  • Potential for more strengthening

Weather experts at the local monitoring station dont expect the super-typhoon to weaken before it reaches land; its path leads straight toward communities that havent yet recovered from last weeks destruction
