Tropical Depression Zoraida came so soon, only 2 days after Typhoon Yolanda left the Philippine Area of Responsibility. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), however, said that Zoraida wouldn’t be as strong as Yolanda. For one, it is only a Tropical Depression when Yolanda is a Typhoon (and a super typhoon at that).
