Brace yourselves, the Philippines is facing a double blow from Tropical Storm Trami! 🌪️ After tearing through the northwestern regions, Trami has left at least 82 people dead 😢, with devastating landslides and massive floods forcing thousands to seek refuge on rooftops.
Authorities are in a race against time, scrambling for more rescue boats to save those trapped by the raging waters. And just when you thought it was over, here's the plot twist: Trami might make a U-turn! 🔄
State forecasters warn that high-pressure winds over the South China Sea could push the storm back towards the Philippines next week. This could spell more trouble for the already hard-hit communities.
\"We've never seen anything like this,\" said a local official. \"Our people are terrified, and we're doing everything we can to help them.\"
The province of Batangas, south of Manila, was particularly affected, with a provincial police chief reporting that 49 people lost their lives mainly due to landslides triggered by the storm.
Let's keep the people of the Philippines in our thoughts 💙, and hope that Trami doesn't come back for an encore.
