Horror! Massive destruction, floods and landslides! Storm Trami hits the Philippines

Tropical Storm Trami brings severe flooding and landslides to the Philippines. Widespread flooding and landslides set off by a tropical storm in the northeastern Philippines on Thursday, swept away cars and prompted authorities to scramble for motorboats to rescue trapped villagers, some on roofs. But the onslaught may not be over: State forecasters raised the rare possibility that the storm — the 11th and one of the strongest to hit the Philippines this year — could make a U-turn next week as it is pushed back by high-pressure winds in the South China Sea. Tens of thousands remained displaced after fleeing floods driven by a torrential downpour that dumped two months’ worth of rainfall in just two days, 392 mm in some areas. The storm – known as Kristine in the Philippines – was blowing over Aguinaldo town in the mountain province of Ifugao after dawn with sustained winds up to 95 kph (59 mph) and gusts up to 160 kph (99 mph). It was blowing westward and was forecast to enter the South China Sea
