Cambodia warns people of impact from super typhoon Haiyan

 

 Cambodia will be suffering from the impact of super-typhoon Haiyan for two days, starting from Sunday, Minister of Water Resources and Meteorology Lim Kean Hor said Friday.
According to the weather forecast, the 30th typhoon, namely Haiyan, had been brewing in the Philippines on Friday morning and it would arrive at Vietnam's central coast on Sunday night, the Minister said in a public announcement.

In the Philippines, at least one person died and some 125,604 people have evacuated to safe places as typhoon Haiyan, believed to be the strongest cyclone of this year in the world, hit the country on Friday.

"The arrival of the typhoon at the Vietnamese coast will cause moderate-to-heavy rainfall with strong gusts of wind on Sunday and Monday in Cambodia's northern and northeastern highland areas such as the provinces of Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Rattanakiri, Mondolkiri, Stung Treng and Kratie," Lim Kean Hor said.
"I'd like to appeal to the people in these provinces to be extra-vigilant to avoid any possible dangers," he added.

On Wednesday, the country suffered from the impact of typhoon Krosa, which had weakened to a tropical storm and depression, leaving three people dead and 79 wooden houses destroyed, Keo Vy, spokesman for the National Committee for Disaster Management, said.
