MANILA, Philippines – Tropical storm “Ofel” continues to move away from land and storm signals were lifted over most areas including Metro Manila, weather bureau PAGASA said on Thursday, October 25.
In its 11 pm bulletin, PAGASA noted that as of 10 pm Ofel was located 240 km West of Bataan (14.7°N, 117.8°E), with maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h and gusts of up to 90 km/h.
The tropical storm is moving Northwest at 24 km/h and by Friday evening will be 690 km West of Laoag, Ilocos Norte.
Public storm signal warnings were lifted over all areas except Zambales and Bataan, under storm signal #1 (30-60 km/h winds).
Fishing boats and other small vessels are still advised not to venture out into the seaboards of northern Luzon and the eastern seaboard of central Luzon due to the combined effect of “Ofel” and the surge of northeast monsoon or Amihan.
In its 4 pm situation update, the National Disaster Risk and Reduction Council (NDRRMC) reported 1 fisherman dead and 9 missing.
Almost 1,000 citizens have been affected, and over 16,000 passengers are stranded in ferry terminals over the Visayas and Mindoro. – Rappler.com
