Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos visited families in Sarrat town after a pre-dawn whirlwind destroyed houses and displaced families there.
A separate whirlwind in this city also uprooted trees and blocked a road in the village of Cataban around 10 am today.
The provincial Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council reported that the pre-dawn whirlwind damaged at least 19 houses, seven (7) of which were totally destroyed in Barangay 18 in Sarrat town . No injuries on residents were reported.
The Laoag City Engineering Office immediately conducted clearing operations in Barangay Cataban.
Marcos visited Sarrat town and brought relief provisions to affected families. She also motored to Piddig town to visit families that were flooded due to heavy rains beginning dawn.
“We advise residents to stay in-doors and be alert for floods,” she said.
Pagasa has placed Ilocos Norte under storm signal No. 2 with 60 to 100 kph winds in its 11 a.m. weather advisory.
Saturday flights of the Cebu Pacific from Manila to Laoag and vice versa were cancelled due to bad weather.
Maintenance crew of the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) was also dispatched to various villages in this city after strong winds snapped several power lines.
William Marders, INEC’s information officer, warned residents to stay away from broken power lines and wait for the crew to fix them.
