DEVASTATION AND RELIEF: Nature wreaks havoc in Philippine

COMMUNITY — By MainStreetMantra Desk on October 4, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Typhoon Parma has pounded the northern Philippines, killing at least 15 people and leaving a trail of destruction. The storm toppled power lines, tore off roofs and ripped up trees as it swept across the islands’ far north-east.

Thousands of people have been displaced and hundreds feared dead or missing.

But the capital, Manila, which is still recovering from severe flooding last week, was not affected. Parma had been thought to be heading to Taiwan, but forecasters say it is now “interacting” with another typhoon and could return to the Philippines.

Officials said another typhoon, Melor, was expected to enter Philippine waters from the east on Monday afternoon. Tens of thousands of residents were evacuated from their homes ahead of Typhoon Parma, amid warnings of a potential disaster.
