State weather bureau PAGASA on Wednesday warned that Super Typhoon Inday could still unleash heavy rains, destructive winds, and dangerous sea conditions even if current forecasts show it is unlikely to make landfall. “The track may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone,” said PAGASA, cautioning against complacency as the cyclone approaches extreme Northern Luzon on Friday before tracking toward Taiwan. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered local governments to carry out preemptive evacuations to reduce risks to vulnerable communities. Inday was packing sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour, gusts of up to 240 kph, and moving west northwest at 20 kph. PAGASA also expects the typhoon to raise water levels in Luzon dams by about one meter, although the increase will not be enough to significantly ease the region’s water supply constraints.
