台風15号がルソン島直撃

台風15号がルソン島直撃_c0004734_2138956.jpg
 昨28日メトロマニラ大停電と聞いて、「電力危機再来か?」と思っていましたが、
今日の夕刊見て、台風15号(最大風速44m/sec)がルソン島を直撃したことが
分かりました。
 朝日新聞には犠牲者18人と書いてありましたが、メトロ・マニラ地区
では11年ぶりの暴風雨となり、マカティ市の路上でも写真のように街路樹が
倒れた様子です。
 家損私邸はというと、怪我人はなかったのですが、家の中に雨水が降り
込んで床が水浸し、現在未だ停電が続いているそうです。
 地下駐車場は例によって水浸し、マイカーは銀行の駐車場に避難中
とのことでした。

 30日現在、メトロ・マニラは依然停電と断水が続き、学校は全部休校中。
 家損私邸は全員田舎(カビテ)の親戚宅に避難しています。
 (田舎は停電してないのか?訊き忘れました。\彡。゜o)へ )

 ルソン島中部から南部では、あちこちで川の氾濫、地すべりが発生し、救助も連絡も届かないところが沢山あります。

 ● パナヤ島では酔っ払いが川に落ちて死亡。
 ● ケソン州ルセナ市では16歳の少女が倒木の下敷きになって死亡。
 ● 浸水した地方の住民が、取り残された被災者を一人20ペソ(44円)で救出
    しているところもある。

 
 ● 10月3日、フィリピンの新聞によると、
   台風ミレニョ(台風15号)で鉄砲水や土砂崩れが発生した僻村に救助隊が
   ようやく到着したことなどで多数の死傷者が新たに見つかり、
   3日現在で死者数は200人近くに達した模様とのことです。





Typhoon Xangsane hits Philippines
POSTED: 1727 GMT (0127 HKT), September 28, 2006

MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- Typhoon Xangsane unleashed fierce winds and rains as it slammed into northern and central Philippines on Thursday, killing at least four people and shutting down the capital amid widespread floods, officials said.

The Manila airport general manager suspended all flights around noon (0400 GMT) because of electric power outages.

The storm toppled trees and triggered landslides, blocking some provincial roads. It also shut schools, ferries and the country's financial markets, and forced officials to suspend two commuter trains in metropolitan Manila. A much-awaited college league basketball championship game was postponed.

In Antique province on central Panay island, three people were killed, including a drunk man who fell into a river, a 9-year-old boy and an electrician, said acting governor Eduardo Fortaleza.

A 16-year-old girl was crushed to death by a fallen tree in Lucena city in Quezon province, southeast of Manila.

Fortaleza said rescue workers evacuated about 100 residents who were trapped on an islet in the middle of a raging river in Barbaza town early Thursday.

In Manila, the winds ripped giant highway tarpaulin billboards and toppled a tree in front of the U.S. Embassy, blocking traffic. The embassy was closed for the day.

Some residents in flooded areas ferried people across streets under knee-deep water on makeshift rafts, charging about 20 pesos (US$0.40; euro.32) per person.

The typhoon packed maximum winds of 130 kilometers (81 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 160 kph (100 mph) when it made landfall overnight in the central Bicol region. It weakened into a storm with 110 kph winds (69 mph) but picked up speed from 17 kph (11 mph) to 19 kph (12 mph) as it passed over Manila.

It was the strongest typhoon to directly hit Manila in 11 years. In November 1995, the 260-kph (163-mph) Super typhoon Angela battered the Philippine capital after slicing through central provinces, leaving 936 people dead.

The Office of Civil Defense reported half of the villages in one town in Antique province were under 1.5 meters (five feet) of water after the Dalanas River overflowed.

Elsewhere, more than 4,000 ferry passengers were stranded after the coast guard banned vessels from leaving ports, including in Manila.

The coastal province of Albay, about 320 kilometers (200 miles) southeast of Manila, felt the brunt of the typhoon. A regional highway was impassable because of uprooted trees, power cuts were reported in six provinces and a landslide cut off the road between Antique and Iloilo provinces, the civil defense reported.

Rescuers in other provinces were unable to respond to calls for help because of heavy rains and blocked roads, Bicol civil defense chief Arnel Capili told Radio DZRH.

Authorities also closed the financial markets in Manila on Thursday.
