Typhoon Noru smashes into the Philippines, killing 5 and leaving villages in tatters

People in the northern Philippines were bracing for landslides on Monday after five rescue workers were killed in the aftermath of Typhoon Noru, which made landfall on Sunday and is now heading for Vietnam.

The typhoon, known locally as Typhoon Karding, intensified rapidly from Saturday to Sunday, arriving as a super typhoon at its peak of around 160 miles per hour (more than 250kph).

The typhoon gathered power incredibly quickly, going from the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane to Category 5 in just six hours. T

he stronger the wind speed of a typhoon or hurricane, the more powerful it is and destructive it’s likely to be.

The rapid intensification right before landfall likely meant locals had little, if any, time to prepare for the much stronger storm.

It blasted the main island of Luzon on Sunday, before weakening Monday to a Category 2-equivalent typhoon, according to the US Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

The storm is picking up strength again, however, as it approaches Vietnam.
