MANILA: As Super Typhoon Leon (international name: Kong-Rey) started moving away from Batanes on Thursday (Oct 31), the damage it left to the province, still reeling from the rage of Typhoon Julian (international name: Krathon), became clearer.

Signal No. 5 was hoisted over Itbayat and Basco as the typhoon brought “violent conditions” while passing close to Batanes. The rest of the province was on Signal No. 4.
