Classes were suspended in several areas of Luzon on November 14 due to Typhoon Ofel, which is approaching super typhoon strength. The storm was located 215 kilometers east of Isabela, with maximum winds of 165 kilometers per hour. The Philippine weather agency raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 over northeastern Cagayan, indicating strong winds. Other areas in Luzon are under lower wind signals, prompting local governments to declare class suspensions. Ofel is expected to make landfall along the eastern coast of Cagayan or northern Isabela later today. The storm will continue to intensify and is projected to shift its path after landfall.
