Top 10 Deadliest Disasters in Philippines

This is a list of the worst natural disasters in Philippine history. March 20, 1902, was reported to have occurred March 8, 1904. During that period 166,252 cases, with 109,461 deaths, Typhoon Haiphong When: October 8, 1881 Where: Northern Luzon Impact: 20,000 fatalities Typhoon Hayaan The most disastrous typhoon in recent history. February 1, 1814 The Cagsawa church ruins in Albay stands as a reminder to the Mayon volcano’s most destructive explosion, which recorded 1200 casualties. Tropical Storm Thelma (Uring) When: November 4, 1991 Where: Visayas region Impact: 5,000-8,000 fatalities, 3,000 missing; USD $27.6 million damage Although not technically a typhoon, Tropical Storm Uring ranks third in the deadliest storms to ever hit the Philippines. Although its winds were far from the strongest on record, it did cause torrential rainfall in many areas of the Visayas. Much of the region received around 150 mm or 6 inches of rainfall, but Leyte in particular had as heavy as 580.5 mm (22.85 inches). This rainfall overwhelmed the Anilao-Malbasag watershed and rivers, causing widespread and devastating flooding. Moro Gulf earthquake With a 7.9 magnitude and almost 3,000 casualties, this Mindanao earthquake is officially the strongest and deadliest earthquake in Philippine history. Almost 40, 000 people in Regions 9 and 12 were also left homeless by this tragedy Mt. Hibok-Hibok In the morning of December 4, 1951, the volcano erupted again. This time, however, it unleashed boiling lava, poisonous gases, and landslides enough to destroy nearly 19 square kilometres (7.3 sq mi) of land particularly in Mambajao. All in all, over 3,000 people were killed. Before the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok in 1951, the population of Camiguin had reached 69,000. After the eruption, the population was reduced to about 34,000 due to massive emigration. Angela Typhoon When: 1867 Where: Philippines Impact: 1,800 fatalities The next typhoon on our list also has the particular distinction of being the oldest, deadliest typhoon to hit the Philippines in recorded history. Though not much is known about Angela Typhoon besides the number of fatalities caused by its arrival, its impact was large enough on Philippine history to keep the dubious honor of being the fifth deadliest typhoon to ever hit our shores. Hernani/Hernan 1897 typhoon When: October 7, 1897 Where: Samar, Leyte Impact: 1,500 killed Although Typhoon Yolanda may be the freshest in recent memory, the provinces of Samar and Leyte are no strangers to deadly weather events. An unnamed typhoon that made landfall in October 1897 tore through the island of Leyte a little over two hundred years before Yolanda. Though it wasn’t given a meteorological name, it caused enough extensive damage to claim the lives of approximately 1,500 people. It was recorded by the Observatorio de Manila, quoted here by Rappler, as causing incredible storm surges and total destruction of many towns in Samar and Leyte. The island is formed by overlapping stratovolcanoes, c inder cones and tuff rings (maars). Historic eruptions have seen the constant change and growth of the island. Taal caused one of the worst volcano disasters in history: its eruption in 1911 killed 1334 people and caused ash fall as far as Manila city. The 1754 eruption lasted for almost seven months, and was the volcano's biggest eruption in recorded history. It buried four towns in Batangas province under ash, volcanic rocks and water, and ashfall as thick as 40 inches was reported in some areas,
