Severe Tropical Storm Nock-ten (international designation: 1108, JTWC designation: 10W, PAGASA Name: Juaning) was a powerful tropical storm which made a total of three landfalls in Southeast Asia wreaking havoc, killing more than 100 people and causing damage worth US$126 million. It was the eighth named storm and the fourth severe tropical storm of the 2011 Pacific typhoon season. Unlike Conson in 2010, Nock-ten was well-forecast in the Philippines and residents of affected areas were informed about the storm. Manila, the capital, which was in the direct path of the storm, prepared for heavy rains and shut down all schools across the city.^[1]

The depression formed on July 24 before becoming one of the deadliest tropical storms on the year. It gradually strengthened and reached a peak intensity of 65 knots (120 km/h; 75 mph) on the SSHS. At that time, the system was located just to the east of Philippines, where the impact from the system could be already seen. The system smashed into the nation, wreaking havoc. The storm killed 75, leaving 9 missing, and causing damage worth US$65.73 million. The storm exited land and started strengthening again as it moved into the South China Sea. Then, the system turned towards China's Island province of Hainan where a yellow alert was issued and heavy to very heavy rainfall was predicted. Fourteen flights from Hainan's provincial capital Haikou were cancelled and rail ferry service to Mainland China was also suspended. Some 27,700 people were evacuated from Hainan's low lying area. Nock-ten claimed 2 lives and caused widespread damage worth US$58 million in Hainan. The system exited land and started strengthening again, as it curved towards the Vietnam. On approaching land, the system and its remnants also affected the Laos and Thailand. There, the storm pored extremely heavy rainfall flooding the Yom River and the Nan River. 650,000 people were evacuated from low-lying areas as some 6,200 acres of rice and other crop fields were reported to be completely submerged by the rain waters. The damage figures were expected to be at US$ $2.33 million and the death toll was put at 42.

Meteorological history

Storm path

Early on 22 July, an area of low pressure formed to the east of Philippines.^[2] The system gradually drifted west over the next few days and late on 24 July, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center Started Monitoring the system as a Tropical Depression.^[3] Early the next day, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the area of low pressure into a Tropical Depression.^[4] A few hours later, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) started monitoring the system as a Tropical Depression and named it 'Juaning'.^[5] The system continued to drift westwards and strengthened rapidly. On midnight that day, the JMA further upgraded the system into a Tropical Storm, naming it Nock-Ten,^[6] an anglicization of the Lao language nok ten, ນົກເຕັນ,[1], meaning 'kingfisher',[2].

Early on 27 July, the JMA reported that Nock-ten continued to strengthen and upgraded it to a Severe Tropical Storm.^[7] A few hours later, the JTWC reported that Nock-ten rapidly intensified to a category 1 typhoon and made its landfall over northern Aurora (province) and started weakening.^[8] Later the same day, the JMA reported that Nock-ten has exited the Luzon island at Candon maintaining severe tropical storm strength.^[9] However, overnight, the storm rapidly weakened and the JMA downgraded it into a minor tropical storm the next day.^[10] On 29 July, the storm gradually regained strength and approached south China coast at Qionghai, China.^[11] Later that day, the storm strengthened over land and headed north towards Hainan's provincial capital region Haikou.^[12] The storm weakened rapidly and at midnight that day, the JMA, issuing their final warning on the system, downgrading it into a tropical low.^[13]

Heavier rains were expected throughout the day as the system exited land into the South China Sea and reintensified.^[15] The number of missing was raised to 31 after 25 crewmembers of a fishing boat were reported missing when their boat was caught in the storm off Masbate.^[16] All classes in Luzon from Pre-school to college levels on 26 and 27 July were suspended.^[17] In Northern Luzon, Nock-ten's heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding in the area. The national roads were impassable and landslides were reported.^[18] About 26 domestic flights were cancelled from 26 to 27 July due to heavy rains and strong winds.^[19] The death toll is now upgraded to 27 and more than 60 people are now listed as missing. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council began rescuing stranded people and searching for fishermen who were lost in the storm.^[20] On 28 July, the death toll was put at 35 as two government mines bureau staffers and the two police officers with them were recovered from flood waters and landslides in Luzon.^[21] By that time, the storm displaced a total of 728,554 people from several Philippine provinces in Luzon within the Ilocos Region, Central Luzon and Bicol Region.^[22] Later that day, the government accused the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) for issuing inaccurate weather forecasts about the tropical storm.^[23]

On 29 July, the Philippine death toll was put up to 41 as more bodies were recovered from the flooded areas in Luzon.^[24] The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) announced the total damage caused by the storm to Philippines was US$26,896,788..^[25] Among the dead was the mother of Joey Salceda, the governor of Albay province. She died on Wednesday of head trauma after slipping on the stairs during a power outage caused by the tropical storm.^[26] On 30 July, the death toll was again increased to 50. The NDRRMC also upgraded the total damage to infrastructure and agriculture to US$34,809,609.08.^[27] Most of the dead were drowned, hit by fallen tree or electric posts, or were buried in landslides. The majority of those affected are from the worst hit Bicol region.^[28] Many communities in the Bicol region were in need of potable water, electricity and work crews to clear all the debris and mangled up roads.^[29] on August 2, the NDRRMC, again increased the philippine death toll to 66 and the total damage to infrastructure and agriculture to US$41,811,413.49.^[30] Two days later, a survey by NDCC showed that school buildings were the worst hit in the entire nation.

On 25 July, Hong Kong issued Signal No. 1 for Hong Kong. On 28 July, the residents of western Guangdong started preparing for the storm when China's flood control authority launched an emergency response.^[33] The storm was originally expected to brush the South China coast by 29 July, However it gradually slowed down.^[34] As the system neared the Chinese coasts, China's meteorological authority issued a yellow alert and was predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of the Sichuan Basin. The provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were also strictly alerted about the storm.^[35] On 29 July, some 36,000 sea vessels carrying more than 120,000 labourers on board were warned about the severe storm over the south china sea.^[36] With that, some 26,000 fishing boats China's Hainan Province have returned to port.^[37]
