We are now beginning to receive multiple reports of unconfirmed casualties (one infant) and numerous people missing. Images and videos from Manila Bay also shows the storm surge that have inundated the adjacent Roxas Boulevard. (You can watch the video
HERE). Rainfall reports so far range from 100 to 200mm in Bicol and Southern Tagalog Regions. Northern half of Luzon could receive as much as 300mm which could cause flooding and landslides.
Typhoon Nesat will continue moving across Luzon and should exit by early this evening. It will then continue tracking across South China Sea while regaining some intensity. Long-term forecasts still uncertain, particularly with the next landfall point. (Probability cone stretches from Hong Kong all the way to Vietnam).
