Typhoon Kalmaegi moves across central Philippines, leaving at least 1 dead and setting off floods
Typhoon Kalmaegi forced evacuation of 387,000 people and caused widespread flooding and power outages across Visayas, with 26 fatalities reported, officials said.
- Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, battered the central Philippines on November 4, 2025, forcing authorities to evacuate more than 387,000 people and displace hundreds of thousands.
- With Kalmaegi, the archipelago—hit by about 20 storms annually—faces heightened risks as Charmagne Varilla, state weather service specialist, said at least "three to five more" storms could be expected by December amid recent disasters.
- With sustained winds of 150 kmph and gusts up to 205 kph, Kalmaegi is forecast to cross the Visayas by November 5 while PAGASA warned of storm surges over 3 m and more than 160 flights plus interisland ferries were canceled.
- Disaster officials reported at least 26 killed and a Philippine Air Force helicopter with five personnel crashed during relief, while Rhon Ramos said, `People marooned on rooftops are asking to be rescued`.
- The typhoon is forecast to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Wednesday evening or early Thursday, while officials warned of at least "three to five more" storms before December amid recovery from last month earthquake and Super Typhoon Haiyan.
