Strong winds cause damage at Tacloban airport

Portions of the Tacloban Airport were damaged on Monday night due to heavy rains and strong winds.

According to Super Radyo dzBB reporter Luisito Santos, the ceiling of the passenger terminal building was partially damaged.

Some staircases of the airport’s runway and barriers in the pre-departure area also fell due to the winds.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines clarified that the damage was not due to a tornado, but heavy rains and winds.

PAGASA earlier said Visayas will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeasterly windflow. --Ma. Angelica Garcia/NB, GMA News
