Typhoon Nalgae slammed onto the northeastern province of Isabela in the Philippines October 1, 2011. It also came across the main island of Luzon leaving at least three people dead. This is one day after Typhoon Nesat killed 56 other people and left 28 missing in the same region. A day after Typhoon Nalgae rescuers delivered food and water to hundreds of people stuck on rooftops for days because of the flooding from the typhoons. Nalgae had winds up to 75 miles per hour with gusts of 93 mph. After the typhoons China's National Meteorological Center urges people in expected areas to be hit by the storms in the next 3 days on southern part of Hainan island and eastern Taiwan to stay indoors and cancel big assemblies. Nalgae caused a rock slide in northern mountain province of Bontoc in the Philippines, which killed one person in a van who was pinned to death from boulders coming down the mountain. Once Nesat was downgraded to a tropical storm, it headed towards Vietnam on Friday causing 20,000 people to be evacuated. President Benigno Aquino III ordered authorities to study how villagers and fisherman can be forced to follow storm warnings to help prevent future casualties. Damage on agriculture and infrastructure from the typhoons in the Philippines estimated $200 million dollars.
