Typhoon Sally, also known as Typhoon Bebeng,[3] was a moderate typhoon which impacted Palau and the Philippines during February and March 1967. The third tropical depression, first tropical storm, and first typhoon of the 1967 Pacific typhoon season, Sally originated from a tropical depression northeast of Papua New Guinea on February 28, which underwent slow development, not becoming a tropical storm until March 1. However, in the span of six hours that same day, Sally undergone rapid intensification, intensifying from a minimal tropical storm into a typhoon. Further intensification occurred, and on 00:00 UTC on March 2, Sally peaked as a Category 2-equivelant typhoon. Soon after, Sally weakened into a tropical storm, making landfall just north of Mindanao on March 3 as a high-end tropical storm. Rapid weakening occurred due to landfall, and it becme a tropical depression prior to making its second landfall in Leyte the next day. As it began recurving southwards, it dissipated on March 6, near Borneo.
As Sally peaked in intensity, the island of Koror, which was around 180 nautical miles (330 km) east of the typhoon, suffered the brunt and was lashed by hurricane-force gusts, damaging around 80 percent of the island's buildings. Three people died and another 50 were injured in Palau. In total, Sally caused USD$5 million in damage for the island. In the Philippines, Sally caused one death and "considerable damage" to property.
