Typhoon Agnes(Undang)-1984

This system began as an area of convection along the equator on October 28. Moving northwest, the system developed. On November 1, the system became a tropical depression and then into a tropical storm. The storm turned west-northwest due to a broad ridge to its north. Intensifying into a typhoon, Agnes became an intense typhoon as it approached the Philippines. Two months after Typhoon Ike hit the central Philippines, 140 mph Typhoon Agnes struck just south of Borongan on the 4th. It crossed the islands and briefly weakened. Strengthening began as it moved through the South China Sea. It hit Quinhon, Vietnam as a 115 mph typhoon on November 7. Agnes rapidly weakened, after causing 1167 casualties and US$30 million (1984 dollars) in damage to the Philippines.
