"Typhoon Kalmaegi Approaches: Thousands Evacuate Coastal Leyte Regions"

Typhoon Kalmaegi is approaching the Philippines, forcing thousands to evacuate coastal Leyte regions, which are still recovering from previous devastating storms like Typhoon Haiyan.

• The impending Typhoon Kalmaegi is projected to make landfall in Leyte, bringing sustained winds of 120 kph and gusts reaching 150 kph.
• Evacuations are underway in the coastal provinces of the Philippines, particularly in Palo and Tanauan, Batangas, which are vulnerable to storm surge effects.
• The region of Leyte, historically affected by severe weather events, is preparing for the impacts of Typhoon Kalmaegi, following the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013.
