Tropical Storm Yagi sets off floods and landslides in Philippines, leaving at least 14 dead

The Hindu  

A storm set off landslides and unleashed pounding rains that flooded many northern Philippine areas overnight into Monday, leaving at least 14 people dead and prompting authorities to suspend school classes and government work in the densely populated capital region. Tropical Storm Yagi, locally called Enteng, slammed into Casiguran town in the northeastern province of Aurora Monday afternoon and gained strength with sustained winds of 85 km per hour and gusts of 105 kmph, according to the weather bureau. A landslide hit two small shanties on a hillside in Antipolo city on Monday in Rizal province just to the west of the capital, killing at least three people, including a pregnant woman. In the provinces of Cavite, south of Manila, and Northern Samar, in the country’s central region, coast guard personnel used rubber boats and ropes to rescue and evacuate dozens of villagers who were engulfed in waist- to chest-high floods, the coast guard said.
