TY13W in 1984 (Ike) was one of the deadliest and most destructive typhoons in Philippine history. Over 1800 were killed and nearly 1200 were missing and presumed dead. The storm occurred in late August/early September and pursued a very unusual low latitude track for that time in the season. The storm made landfall in Surigao del Norte, Mindanao with sustained winds of 125kt (Cat 4 hit) making it the second most intense typhoon ever to hit Mindanao behind STY Kate (another transferred name) which hit Davao (at 6N) with 130kt winds in 1970. The protion of Ike's track in the Philippines from Surigao across Bohol and into Cebu was all south of 10N-the storm then crossed Negros and northern Palawan before entering the SCS. Although typhoons do hit down in this part of the Philippines from time to time, they are usually much weaker being more in the Cat 1 and occasionally 2 intensity range.

Later in 1984, another Category 4 typhoon (Agnes) would strike the Philippines, leaving more than 1000 dead/missing.

TY Ruby followed a fairly typical Dingalan Bay-Lingayen Gulf track across north central Luzon. The storm made landfall at Cat 4 intensity (120kt) and weakened to 80kt as it coasted out just south of Poro Point. There were 300 fatalities many due to the sinking of a Ferry south of Luzon (the boat was overloaded and went out against orders). The storm slowed as it reintensified in the SCS and backlash bands brought flooding rains and strong winds to the Manila area and the US Bases at Subic and Clark. There was major flooding in Manila and Central Luzon.

As often happens with typhoons that strike the Philippines, another typhoon followed a short time later. Typhoon Skip brought further death and destruction.
