Early Morning Scene in Legazpi City as Typhoon Pepito Approaches
A male netizen named Don Hayme has shared the early morning scene at Legazpi Boulevard in Puro, Legazpi City as Typhoon Pepito approaches.
At around 6 a.m. on Saturday (November 16, 2024), Legazpi Boulevard in Puro, Legazpi City, was already feeling the effects of Typhoon Pepito creeping in.
The early morning brought a combination of strong gusts and light rain, making waves crash onto the shore and giving everyone a sense that bigger weather was on its way.
Legazpi City is under a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3 warning, meaning winds of up to 117 km/h could hit at any time. Residents living along the coast and in lower-lying parts of the boulevard have been told to stay on alert, with evacuation plans ready if things get worse.
For now, the roads are still open, but the typhoon’s presence with the winds picking up and people quickly securing their homes and businesses can still be felt. The residents around the boulevard are watching the weather closely.
Typhoon Pepito is expected to bring more rain, stronger winds, and some serious waves to Catanduanes, Albay, and other parts of the Bicol region.
Weather forecasters think that Pepito will make landfall tonight or early Sunday (November 17), which could bring even tougher conditions to places along Legazpi Boulevard.
Local disaster response teams are in action, making sure evacuation routes are clear and emergency shelters are ready to go. With the risk of storm surges, especially in coastal areas like Legazpi Boulevard, everyone’s been advised to keep close tabs on updates and be ready for anything.
As of this writing, Legazpi residents are hoping for the best and preparing for whatever Typhoon Pepito might bring.
