In Ulysses' Path: Scenes From Around the Philippines

(SPOT.ph) Typhoon Ulysses is expected to blanket practically all of Luzon in rains today, November 12—even as many are now reeling from the onslaught it brought from the night before. Ulysses first made landfall in Patnanungan, Quezon late Wednesday with maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour and gusts at 255 kilometers per hour. Several parts of Metro Manila experienced power outages, with Marikina River surpassing the waters levels of 2009's Typhoon Ondoy

Meanwhile several other regions—some of which were already badly affected by Typhoon Rolly—were also in the direct path of Ulysses. The whole island of Catanduanes in Bicol has had no power since typhoon Rolly.

Ulysses is expected to weaken as it crosses Luzon; the typhoon is forecasted to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by tomorrow, November 13. As the storm abates, pictures and posts of the situation on the ground have circulated online with #UlyssesPH the top Twitter trend as of writing. Check out the scenes from around Luzon below.
