Tropical Storm Angela (other)
The name Angela has been officially used for three tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean, and two in the Southern Hemisphere. Additionally, it was also used for a 19th-century typhoon, although its usage was unofficial. In the western north Pacific, Angela was used on one of the old name lists: * Typhoon Angela (1989) (T8923, 26W, Rubing), struck the Philippines near peak strength, killing 119 people. * Typhoon Angela (1992) (T9224, 24W), made landfall in Vietnam as a tropical storm. * Typhoon Angela (1995) (T9520, 29W, Rosing), a powerful storm that killed hundreds in the Philippines and had its PAGASA name retired. * In 1867, a typhoon struck the Philippines which eventually became its fifth-deadliest; it was later unofficially called as the " Angela typhoon". There were two cyclones named Angela in the Southern Hemisphere: * Cyclone Angela (1966) * Cyclone Angela (1972), passed near Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island {{DEFAULTSORT:Angela Pacific typho ...

Typhoon Angela (1989)
Typhoon Angela, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Rubing, was an intense tropical cyclone that formed in late September 1989. The storm developed from a tropical disturbance in the monsoon trough and moved generally westward throughout its duration. The storm ultimately peaked in intensity as a super typhoon and struck northern Luzon in the Philippines. After weakening and traversing the South China Sea, Angela bypassed Hainan to the south and struck Vietnam before dissipating. The storm caused severe damage and 119 fatalities in the Philippines. Thousands of houses were damaged, and hundreds of thousands of residents were impacted by the typhoon. Monetary damage is placed at $8 million. Meteorological history The origins of Typhoon Angela trace back to a tropical disturbance in the monsoon trough that became very active after a lull in convection. The disturbance developed over the western Caroline Islands, and persisted for two days until it was noted in a Significant Tropica ...

Typhoon Angela (1992)
Typhoon Angela, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Rosing, was an extremely powerful and catastrophic tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines in November 1995, and the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 1995. Typhoon Angela was the third storm in a row that struck the Philippines, following Yvette and Zack. Typhoon Angela was the twenty-ninth tropical cyclone, and the fifth super typhoon of the moderately active 1995 Pacific typhoon season. Angela caused PHP 9.33 billion worth of damage across the Philippines, in addition to 882 fatalities. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines since Typhoon Joan in 1970, and the costliest since Typhoon Mike in 1990. Meteorological history The monsoon trough that developed Yvette and Zack spawned another tropical depression on October 25 in conjunction with a tropical disturbance that originated in the Marshall Islands. It moved to the west, organizing very slowly, becoming a tropical storm on Oct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Typhoon Angela (1995)
Typhoon Angela, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Rosing, was a catastrophic Category 5-equivalent typhoon with sustained winds, and the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 1995. Typhoon Angela was the third storm in a row that struck the Philippines, following Yvette and Zack. Typhoon Angela was the twenty-ninth tropical cyclone, and the fifth super typhoon of the moderately active 1995 Pacific typhoon season. Angela caused PHP 9.33 billion worth of damage across the Philippines, in addition to 882 fatalities. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in 25 years, and the costliest in 5 years. Meteorological History The monsoon trough that developed Yvette and Zack spawned another tropical depression on October 25 in conjunction with a tropical disturbance that originated in the Marshall Islands. It moved to the west, organizing very slowly to become a tropical storm on October 26. Two days later Angela became a typhoon, and from the Octob ...

1867 Angela Typhoon
From September 20 to 26, 1867, the capital Manila of the Captaincy General of the Philippines experienced the full brunt of a storm, which was believed to be a typhoon. Dubbed as the 1867 Angela typhoon, the capital was submerged in floods from the storm. Many ships either disappeared in waters or were destroyed in the shores near Santa Lucia and Tondo, both towns near Manila Bay. The waves on the said bay were described as "mountainous" by some residents near the coast. The Spanish ship that departed from British Hong Kong named "Malaspina" sank near the Ilocos Region, killing an unknown number of passengers and crew with no survivors. The waters of the Abra River overflowed, killing over 1,800 individuals, mostly due to drowning. This would make the typhoon the fifth deadliest tropical cyclone ever to hit the present-day Philippines. No numerical estimate for the damage caused by the storm is available. Meteorological history and impact The system likely originated in the w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south, and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Oceania in the west and the Americas in the east. At in area (as defined with a southern Antarctic border), this largest division of the World Ocean—and, in turn, the hydrosphere—covers about 46% of Earth's water surface and about 32% of its total surface area, larger than Earth's entire land area combined .Pacific Ocean .

The points of the compass are a set of horizontal, radially arrayed compass directions (or azimuths) used in navigation and cartography. A compass rose is primarily composed of four cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—each separated by 90 degrees, and secondarily divided by four ordinal (intercardinal) directions—northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest—each located halfway between two cardinal directions. Some disciplines such as meteorology and navigation further divide the compass with additional azimuths. Within European tradition, a fully defined compass has 32 'points' (and any finer subdivisions are described in fractions of points). Compass points are valuable in that they allow a user to refer to a specific azimuth in a colloquial fashion, without having to compute or remember degrees. Designations The names of the compass point directions follow these rules: 8-wind compass rose * The four cardinal directions are north (N), east (E), s ...
