Storm Nokaen batters eastern Philippines as it moves offshore

TROPICAL STORM Nokaen, locally known as Ada, is expected to track farther away from land while maintaining its strength over the next 24 hours, though the state weather bureau warned that strong winds, rain and rough seas would continue to affect large swaths of eastern Philippines as the northeast monsoon intensifies.

Ada was last seen on Sunday about 140 kilometers (km) northeast of Virac, Catanduanes, slowly moving east-northeast with maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

The storm was forecast to continue moving northeastward through Monday before shifting into a looping track over the Philippine Sea east of Luzon, it added.

It said Ada was likely to remain a tropical storm as it stays offshore before weakening into a tropical depression by Tuesday and further slowing into a low-pressure area by Thursday as monsoon winds strengthen.

An earlier weakening remains possible, it added, while cautioning that heavy rain and strong winds could still occur outside the forecast track and confidence cone.

Wind Signal No. 2 was expected to stay in place over Catanduanes and parts of Camarines Sur, with Signal No. 1 covering portions of southern Quezon, the Bicol Region and Northern Samar, posing minimal to moderate risks to life and property.

Beyond the storm’s immediate circulation, enhanced monsoon winds were forecast to bring strong to gale-force gusts to northern and eastern Luzon, Bicol and parts of Eastern Visayas through Tuesday.

Coastal flooding remained a concern in low-lying communities in Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay and Sorsogon, where storm surge of up to two meters was possible within the next 24 hours.

At sea, rough to moderate conditions were forecast to persist along the eastern seaboards of Luzon and parts of the Visayas, prompting warnings for small vessels to avoid sailing as authorities brace for lingering weather disruptions even as the storm gradually weakens.

The storm’s forecast positions showed a continued drift away from land: by 8 p.m. on Sunday, Ada was expected to be 425 km east of Infanta, Quezon; by 8 a.m. on Monday, 500 km east of Baler, Aurora; and by 8 p.m. on Monday, 565 km east of Casiguran, Aurora. 

On Tuesday, it was projected to be 705 km east of Casiguran in the morning and 830 km east of Central Luzon by evening.

By Wednesday morning, Ada was expected to be 810 km east of Southeastern Luzon and then 390 km east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar by Thursday.

Meanwhile, Ada had already triggered flooding, landslides and transport disruptions, according to an 8 a.m. situation report from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.

More than 10,000 people had been affected, with evacuations underway in several regions. It was earlier reported that two died in Region 5.

Authorities reported flooded communities in Bicol and Caraga, damaged roads and bridges, power interruptions and the suspension of sea travel in dozens of ports, leaving thousands of passengers and cargoes stranded. — Chloe Mari A. Hufana

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
