Angela caused PHP 9.33 billion worth of damage across the Philippines, in addition to 882 fatalities.

[1] Two days later, Angela further intensified into a typhoon, and between October 31 and November 1, Angela rapidly intensified into a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon with 1-minute sustained winds of 285 km/h (180 mph), while the Japan Meteorological Agency reported peak 10-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph).

[2] Angela continued to the west-northwest, where upper-level winds caused it to dissipate on November 7 over the Gulf of Tonkin.

[5] Although the JMA, which is the official regional specialized meteorological center of the western Pacific, estimated a minimum central pressure of 910 mbar (26.87 inHg), the JTWC unofficially estimated a central pressure of 879 mbar (25.96 inHg), which would rank it high on the list of most intense tropical cyclones, but still behind Typhoon Tip,[6] the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded.

In a study utilizing the Dvorak technique for analysis of post-1987 typhoons, the authors concluded that Angela and 1992's Gay were higher on the scale than Tip.
