Overstaying Typhoon Pepeng Brings Disaster, Humanitarian Crisis to Northern and Central Luzon, October 9 - 10, 2009

9 - 10 October 2009

Pepeng has long ago ceased  to be the super typhoon that it once was but just when many people in Northern Luzon and Central Luzon thought the worst was over came disaster from the strong rains it brought worsened by the release of water in several dams in the area. 

Worse hit in terms of flooding is the province of Pangasinan where 30 out of 48 towns are under water.







But in terms of human lives lost, the areas hardest hit are Baguio, Benguet and La Union. 




The devastation is such that it takes a considerable amount of effort simply to keep track of what's happening where.  

This is the satellite image of Pepeng as of 9:00 am, October 10, 2009.

As of 4:00 am, October 10, 2009, tropical depression Pepeng was located 240 kms west southwest of  Vigan City moving West at 13kph in the direction of Vietnam.
