MANILA - Super Typhoon Rolly made a second landfall in the vicinity of Tiwi, Albay at 7:20 a.m. Sunday, nearly a week after another storm left at least 16 dead in the country.

The world's strongest storm this year, which made its first landfall in the vicinity of Bato, Catanduanes at 4:50 a.m., is forecast to bring catastrophic violent winds and intense to torrential rainfall, PAGASA earlier said, prompting nearly a million to flee their homes in flood- and landslide-prone areas.

Rolly was last estimated in the vicinity of Tiwi town as of 8 a.m., moving 25 km per hour while packing maximum winds of 225 kph near the center and gusts of up to 310 kph, PAGASA said in its latest weather bulletin.

On Sunday, it will bring heavy to intense with at times torrential rains over Metro Manila, Bicol region, Calabarzon, Marinduque, Romblon, Mindoro provinces, Bataan, Bulacan, Aurora, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, Biliran, and the eastern portions of mainland Cagayan and Isabela.

Light to moderate with at times heavy rains will be experienced over Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and the rest of Luzon and Visayas.

PAGASA warned flooding, rain-induced landslides, and sediment-laden streamflows (e.g. lahar) may occur during heavy or prolonged rainfall especially in areas that are highly susceptible to these hazards.
