Meteorological history
The typhoon was first identified 370 nautical miles (690 km) southeast of the Philippines on October 19. Tracking west-northwestwards towards Manila, it made its first landfall over Catanduanes the next day. After that, it then made five more landfalls over Luzon, passing over Manila with sustained winds of 145 mph (235 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 969 hPa (28.6 inHg). Moving into the South China Sea on October 22, the typhoon was not tracked further.
Preparations and impact
The most intense typhoon to strike the Philippines since 1831, the typhoon caused significant impacts when it passed over Manila. The Variedades Theatre was destroyed, with the Tondo Theatre suffering significant impacts. Several tobacco factories in the city were damaged as well. In Santa Lucia, eleven vessels wound up on the shore. A barometer in the city was able to record winds of 145 mph (235 km/h) before being damaged. In Ermita, only one house survived the typhoon, every house in Sampaloc lost their roofs. At least six men died when pieces of iron roofing collapsed on them and were blown a distance by the typhoon's winds. Thousands of people went homeless.
