Future

The part of the Philippines hit will have to recover from any damage done. There were two casualties, and thousands evacuated the area. As they return, they will face the damage done. However, the storm did not do drastic damage, but caused flooding and landslides along with powerful winds. Although after hitting the northeastern tip of the Philippines it was no longer considered a Super Typhoon, it still “pack[s] a punch” as it continues on to Japan (Weather). Noul was a category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with a total of $364,000 USD in damage. The Philippines is hit with multiple typhoons per year, so they are aptly prepared, shown when they evacuated thousands. As more typhoons approach this region, they will prepare themselves well, bracing for the worst.
