LEGASPI, Philippines - Typhoon Hagupit left at least two people dead and tore apart
homes in coastal communities across the eastern Philippines on Sunday,
creating more misery for millions following a barrage of deadly
disasters.
Two people, including a baby girl, died of hypothermia in central
Iloilo province on Saturday at the height of the typhoon, a government
spokesman said at a news conference.
Two women were injured when the tricycle taxi they were riding was
struck by a falling tree in central Negros Oriental province.
The typhoon roared in from the Pacific Ocean and into remote fishing
communities on Samar island on Saturday night with wind gusts of
210km/h, local weather agency Pagasa said.
The wind strength at landfall made Hagupit the most powerful storm to hit the Philippines this year, exceeding a typhoon in July that killed more than 100 people
