• On the main road running through Tuguegarao City, branches and sheets of metal litter the ground. Trees are tangled around road signs, toppled roofs of petrol stations hang precariously and nearby, the city’s damaged airport remains closed. Tuguegarao, home to more than 140,000 people, was directly hit by Typhoon Mangkhut, which made landfall in the province of Cagayan on Saturday (Sep 15th, 2018) morning at 1.40am, packing winds of up to 165mph. The typhoon has left a trail of damage across the nation’s bread basket in the northern Philippines. The storm killed at least 40 people, but the toll is expected to rise as rescue teams reach rural areas still cut off by flooding. The typhoon also laid waste to homes, flooded large swathes of countryside and devastated rice fields.
