Typhoon Yinxing Strikes Northern Philippines
   
Typhoon Yinxing (known in the Philippines as Marce) has made landfall over Santa Ana Municipality in the far northeast of Cagayan Province early November 7th. The system is anticipated to weaken as it moves over the Luzon Straight and through Cagayan Province before exiting into the South China Sea early November 8th. Weather advisories have been put into place for strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rainfall totals across various areas of northern and central Philippines. 

In response to the approach of Typhoon Yinxing’s arrival, officials have evacuated over 17,500 residents from northern Cagayan’s coastal regions and Apayao Province. Airlines have canceled multiple flights connecting Manila with Basco, Clark, Laoag, and Tuguegarao. Parts of northern and central Philippines are still recovering from the impact of Tropical Storm Trami (Kristine) and Typhoon Kong-Rey (Leon), which could delay recovery efforts.
