Typhoon Vongfong, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Ambo, is a tropical cyclone currently moving over Northern Luzon in the Philippines. Beginning as a tropical depression on May 10 east of Mindanao, Vongfong was the first storm of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season. It gradually organized as it took a slow northward course, strengthening into a tropical storm on May 12 and curving west thereafter. The next day, Vongfong entered a period of rapid intensification, becoming a typhoon and attaining 10-minute maximum sustained winds of 150 km/h (100 mph). The storm made landfall at this intensity near San Policarpo, Eastern Samar, at 04:15 UTC on May 14.[1]

In early May 2020, an area of atmospheric convection began to persist approximately 545 km (340 mi) southeast of Palau, situated within an environment generally conducive for the formation of a tropical cyclone.[2] However, upper-level wind shear initially prevented much development.[3] Satellite data suggested the presence of broad cyclonic rotation within the disturbance, which was designated Invest 95W by the JTWC.[2] Computer forecast models predicted that the system would track slowly towards the west-northwest.[4] The circulation associated with the storms persisted over subsequent days,[5] and at 00:00 UTC on May 10, the JMA determined that a tropical depression had developed east of Mindanao, tracking slowly west.[6] Later that day, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) followed suit and upgraded the system to a tropical depression, giving it the name Ambo for Filipino interests;[7] it was the first tropical cyclone within the Philippine Area of Responsibility in 2020 and the first of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season.[8][9] On the same day, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued by the JTWC on the system, noting early signs of rainband development.[10] Though attenuated by the presence of dry air, warm sea surface temperatures, low wind shear, and upper-level outflow supported further development in the storm's early stages as the storm was steered by subtropical ridge.[11] Weak steering currents caused the tropical depression to move slowly northward on May 12.[12] At 12:00 UTC on May 12, the JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm, assigning it the name Vongfong.[13] Vongfong's cloud tops were rapidly cooling and consolidating upon its upgrade to a tropical storm, indicative of a strengthening cyclone.[14] The storm also began to develop anticyclonic outflow and curved rainbands.[15] A well-defined eye soon emerged on microwave satellite imagery as the storm's structure became further organized,[16] surrounded by hot towers with the storm tracking nearly due west in response to a subtropical ridge centered over the Northern Mariana Islands.[17] At 06:00 UTC on May 13, the JMA upgraded Vongfong to severe tropical storm status,[18] followed by an upgrade to typhoon status six hours later.[19] The eye became increasingly pronounced and contracted to less than 10 km (6 mi) in diameter as the storm's evolution became suggestive of rapid intensification.[20][21][22] The JTWC assessed 1-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (120 mph) at 21:00 UTC on May 13 shortly before the onset of an eyewall replacement cycle;[23] nine hours later, the JMA analyzed Vongfong to have attained 10-minute sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph) and a barometric pressure of 960 hPa (mbar; 28.50 inHg).[24] Vongfong made landfall with this intensity over San Policarpo, Eastern Samar, at 04:15 UTC on May 14.[25][26] The storm's structure degraded due to land interaction as it traversed Samar, causing Vongfong's eye to dissipate.[27][28] Vongfong made six additional landfalls as it traversed the remainder of the Visayas into Luzon: Dalupiri Island; Capul Island; Ticao Island; Burias Island; San Andres, Quezon; and Real, Quezon.[29] The prolonged interaction with land caused Vongfong to weaken, though the storm maintained a compact circulation amid otherwise favorable atmospheric conditions.[30][31]

On May 15, Vongfong weakened below typhoon status and began to track towards the northwest around the periphery of a subtropical ridge.[32][33] Vongfong further weakened as it headed inland, being downgraded by the Japan Meteorological Agency into a tropical storm. At 0900 UTC on May 16, the JTWC downgraded Vongfong to a tropical depression and issued its final warning on the system.[34]

Heavy rainfall warnings were triggered by the storm's approach for Caraga Region, Bukidnon and Davao del Norte provinces on May 11.[35] The following day, the PAGASA urged residents to begin preparing for the storm, particularly in the Bicol and Eastern Visayas regions and parts of Luzon.[36] Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal 1 was issued parts of Eastern Samar and Northern Samar by the agency on May 13;[37] this was later extended to include parts of the Bicol region.[38] Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal 3 was ultimately issued for parts of Bicol and Eastern Visayas on May 14 as Vongfong neared landfall.[39]

Search and rescue teams in Davao City were advised by the municipal government to be placed on alert for possible landslides and flooding.[40] The 18 Risk Reduction and Management Offices of Albay were activated on May 12.[41] Across the province, at least 35,000 people evacuated, with a total of 80,000 evacuations expected from susceptible areas; mass evacuations were carried out in 15 towns and 3 cities.[42] Due to the threat of flooding and possible lahar flows from Mayon, 515 people evacuated from Guinobatan in Albay.[43] Rice and other crops were harvested early in the province to prepare for the impending storm.[44] At least 9,700 evacuees were enumerated in Northern Samar by May 14.[45] Emergency shelters in Bicol housed 145,000 evacuees.[46] Local government units were compelled to begin evacuations in Calabarzon.[47] Cargo vessel and fishing operations throughout the Philippines were suspended by the Philippine Coast Guard.[48] A suspension of work was enacted in Camarines Norte and Catanduanes provinces and Naga, Camarines Sur, on May 14.[49] The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) readied logistics assets and US$23 million in disaster relief aid,[50] while the Department of Social Welfare and Development moved relief goods to areas expected to be affected by Vongfong.[51] One person was killed in Albay after being electrocuted by a wire prior to Vongfong's landfall.[52]

The outer reaches of Vongfong caused heavy rains in some provinces on May 13, causing flooding in Koronadal.[53] Power outages impacted Eastern Samar, downing communications in several towns. Strong winds damaged weaker homes and fishing boats and downed trees, blocking roads connecting Eastern Samar and Samar.[54] Homes and evacuation centers were damaged across five towns.[46] The roof of an evacuation shelter collapsed,[55] and one person was killed while seeking shelter after being struck by glass shards.[46] Jipapad suffered most extensively of the towns in Eastern Samar, with floods there reaching the second stories of homes and washing out roads, isolating the municipality. Nearly all of the town's populace were displaced by Vongfong.[56] Two people were killed in San Policarpio, where Vongfong initially made landfall, and in Oras, Eastern Samar.[26][56] The storm displaced over 127,900 residents in Eastern Smaar and nearly 15,900 residents in Northern Samar. Ben Evardone, the governor of Eastern Samar, called the storm "Yolanda Jr." in reference to the scale of damage wrought in the province. At least ₱80 million worth of crops in the Bicol region were lost due to Vongfong.[56] Across Calabarzon, Bicol, and Eastern Visayas, aggregate damage to agriculture was valued at ₱185.83 million; the precautionary harvesting of crops prior to the typhoon's arrival was estimated to have mitigated ₱9 billion in damage to rice and corn.[57] Nine villages in Bulacan were inundated by 0.6–0.9 m (2–3 ft) of floodwater.[58] Following the storm, the Department of Agriculture allocated ₱700 million for prompt rehabilitation of the agricultural sector in affected areas.[57] At least two people are missing in Eastern Samar.[54]
