MANILA (UPDATED) — Typhoon Egay maintained its strength and hit land for a second time before Wednesday noon, the state weather bureau said, as it kept wind signals raised over vast swaths of Luzon.

Egay made its second landfall over Dalupiri Island in Calayan, Cagayan province on Wednesday, PAGASA said.

At 1 p.m., the typhoon was spotted over the coastal waters of Calayan, packing maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour and up to 240 kph gusts, the weather agency said.

"Violent, life-threatening conditions are expected to continue over Babuyan Islands, the northwestern portion of mainland Cagayan, and the northern portions of Apayao and Ilocos Norte in the next 6 hours," PAGASA warned. Storm surges exceeding three meters may cause flooding in some low-lying and coastal areas in Batanes, Cagayan, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, and portions of Isabela and Ilocos Sur, it added.
