gust

Tropical Depression Gener

- The Active Low Pressure Area (ALPA) spotted in Borongan, Samar has developed into a tropical depression and was named "Gener", according to the state weather bureau.

In its 11 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Gener was located 250 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes.

Gener was moving north northwest at 15 kilometers per hour and packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center.

Typhoon Helen

Typhoon signal 2 was raised in three areas in Northern Luzon as tropi-cal storm “Helen” maintained its strength while slowly moving westward, the weather bureau PAGASA announced in its 11 p.m.

Public storm warning signal number 2 was raised over Ca-gayan, the Calayan Group of Islands, and Isabela, while signal number 1 has been raised in Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Abra, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Aurora. No other public storm warning signal has been raised elsewhere.

The storm’s center was located 270 kilometers east of Aparri, Cagayan, with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusti-ness of up to 80 kph. The storm was moving “west slowly.”

THE VICTIMS OF THE TYPHOON

Typhoon depression Julian

On August 3 at 1500 UTC, PAGASA identified a Tropical Disturbance located to the north of Luzon island in the Philippines and designated it as Tropical Depression Julian .Later that day the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) des-ignated Julian as a minor Tropical Depression and initiated advi-sories on the Tropical Depression

Typhoon Karen

On November 7, the 28th storm of the season formed; it was named Karen. It then moved north and rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 Super Ty-phoon. Karen was also reported to have two eyewalls at the time it slammed into Guam. It is be-lieved that Karen may have had two eyewalls due to an eyewall replacement cycle. Karen then increased its speed from about six mph as it moved towards the northwest at around eighteen mph. On Novem-ber 11, while over Guam, it had winds of 160+ and a minimum pressure of at least 935 millibars.

. It maintained Category 5 intensity for 4.25 days, second only to Typhoon Nancy in length. On November 14, Karen then curved northeast and began to weaken over the colder waters of the Pacific. On Novem-ber 17, it was down graded to a tropical storm. The following day Karen crossed into the central Pacific as a tropical storm. It then became extratropical later that day.

It was last seen 435 km east of Tuguegarao, with max-imum sustained winds of 215 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 250 kph.

The typhoon also moved slowly northwest towards Batanes-Cagayan at 9 kph.
