Typhoon Peggy, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Gading, was a very intense super typhoon that formed during the 1986 Pacific typhoon season. At the time of its occurrence, the typhoon was documented by PAGASA as the eight strongest Philippine typhoon on record. A tropical depression developed on July 3 east of the Philippines, and strengthened to a tropical storm the next day. It steadily strengthened to a typhoon, then continued to intensify and reached a peak strength of 130 kn on July 7. As Peggy continued westward, it slowly weakened, and hit northeastern Luzon on July 9 as a 90 kn typhoon. A slight weakening of the subtropical ridge brought Peggy northward, where it hit southeastern China as a 55 kn tropical storm on July 11. It weakened and later dissipated into a remnant low on July 12.

In Baguio and surrounding towns, 44 people are killed by landslides when they are sleeping. In total, Peggy caused at least 333 deaths and $512 million (1986 USD) in damage.
