フィリピンで台風による死亡者数が増加

(CNN) フィリピン国家災害調整委員会(NDCC)は15日、同国に上陸した熱帯低気圧「コンソン」による死亡者数が、前日の18人から36人に増加したと発表した。40人以上が依然行方不明だという。

 

少なくとも4人の子どもが犠牲になっており、うち3人は倒れてきた木に当たって死亡したという。

 

被害を受けた家屋の数も500戸から1万1230戸に増加し、倒壊した家屋は900戸以上に上る。

 

14日遅くにフィリピンに上陸したコンソンは、16日朝までにフィリピンの北東に移動すると見られ、同日、中国南部に上陸する可能性が高い。米軍合同台風 警報センター(JTWC)は上陸前に勢力を強める可能性はほとんどないとしているが、中国南部では豪雨や洪水が懸念される。

Typhoon Chanthu Slams South China

Chanthu wound into a typhoon shortly before storming ashore in south China near 2 p.m. Thursday, local time, and well before daybreak on Thursday morning, EDT.

Landfall was near Wuchuan in southwestern Guangdong, within about 40 miles east of the city of Zhanjiang.

Near the time of landfall, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated highest sustained winds to be about 85 mph.

Heading towards the west and northwest, Chanthu will weaken quickly as it breaks up over south China in the province of Guangxi.

Quickly losing its high winds, the heavy rain potential of Chanthu will persist well inland. Thus, through Saturday and even Sunday, a threat of flooding rain will span a wide stretch of southwestern Guangdong, much of Guangxi, southern Yunnan and even northernmost Vietnam.

Widespread rainfall of 4 to 8 inches will be likely, and potential is for highest rainfall of at least one foot, which could trigger major flooding.

Moisture contributed by Chanthu may also contribute to heavy rain in the flood-hit central Yangtze Basin this weekend and into next week.

Wide swathes of southern and central China have already suffered major seasonal flooding in 2010.
