Exactly a month later, Leon battered Batanes, leaving residents with no option but to confront the aftermath of the typhoon, which is the 12th to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility this year.

At 4 am on Thursday, Leon was located 100 kilometers east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes. It is moving northwest at 20 kilometers per hour, slightly slower than the 25 km/h after midnight.
