Super Typhoon Ragasa has unleashed chaos across the northern Philippines, leaving at least six dead and communities reeling from floods and landslides. With winds strong enough to snap trees and rains that turned streets into rivers, the storm has become a grim reminder of nature’s fury. 🌊💨
The Philippine Coast Guard confirmed four fatalities after a fishing boat capsized off Cagayan province, while two others lost their lives in separate incidents. A 74-year-old man in Benguet province was killed when a landslide buried his vehicle, and a 67-year-old resident of La Union drowned after being swept into a raging river.
Six survivors have been rescued so far, but three people remain missing as search teams battle harsh conditions. 🚨 Local authorities are urging residents to stay vigilant, with landslides still possible in mountainous areas.
Ragasa’s path of destruction highlights the growing intensity of storms in the region—a trend scientists link to climate change. As rescue crews work tirelessly, global attention turns to the Philippines’ resilience in the face of recurring natural disasters. 🌏🔍
