(UPDATE) Tropical Depression Lannie made two more landfalls Monday noon, or six landfalls in a span of eight hours, stirring rains as it heads towards Cebu, PAGASA said.
The 12th storm of the year was spotted off the coast of Jetafe, Bohol at 1 p.m., packing maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour with 55 kph gusts.
It made landfall six times in eight hours: in Bucas Grande Island at 4:30 a.m.; Cagdianao, Dinagat Islands at 5 a.m.; Liloan, Southern Leyte at 7:30 a.m.; Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte at 8 a.m.; Mahanay Island, Bohol at 12:30 p.m.; Banacon Island, Bohol at 12:45 p.m.
