(ANSA) - MANILA, 02 NOV - At least 10 people have died in the Philippines due to typhoon Goni which uncovered roofs, destroyed power lines and caused flooding in the most affected areas, where hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes, it was learned from local sources. The typhoon triggered a series of landslides that buried homes in the southern part of the populous island of Luzon.
When he touched the island of Cataduanes, before dawn, Goni reached the speed of 225 km per hour as strong rains fell over the whole region. It then lost intensity as it skirted the capital Manila and headed for the South China Sea, where it is expected to weaken and turn into a tropical storm. (HANDLE).
