Luzon braces for super typhoon
(UPDATE) AUTHORITIES started evacuating families living in danger zones as Super Typhoon “Egay” swept toward the northern Philippines on Tuesday.
“Egay” (Doksuri) was packing maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour as it headed toward the northern tip of the main island of Luzon.
It was expected to make landfall or pass very close to the lightly populated Babuyan Islands or northeastern Cagayan province by Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
It would then move toward Taiwan and southeastern China.
