Matmo weakens into a storm after blowing across northern Philippines
Typhoon Matmo is the 16th cyclone this year, bringing 130 kph winds and forcing evacuations while complicating recovery from a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that damaged over 5,000 homes.
- Typhoon Matmo, locally known as Paolo, made landfall in Dinapigue town, Isabela province, on Friday with sustained winds up to 130 kph from the Pacific Ocean.
- Located on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire,' the Philippines faces about 20 typhoons a year, with a 6.9-magnitude earthquake Tuesday night killing at least 72 and injuring over 550.
- Residents in vulnerable villages evacuated as Matmo tracked northwestward, with residents in flood- and landslide-prone villages evacuating while schools suspended classes and cargo and fishing vessels were barred.
- Typhoon Matmo has complicated relief efforts responding to a deadly earthquake and recent storms, including Bualoi, which caused at least 37 deaths in the Philippines and $485 million in Vietnam.
- On Oct. 3, 2025, images showed damaged businesses at Bogo city pier, Cebu Province, and forecasters expected Matmo to blow into the South China Sea on Saturday toward southern China, Hainan Island and Guangdong province.
