Typhoon rips off roofs, floods villages and displaces thousands in Philippines
Typhoon Doksuri slammed into an island in the Philippines and lashed northern provinces with ferocious wind and rain on Wednesday, displacing nearly 16,000 villagers as it blew tin roofs off rural houses, flooded low-lying villages and knocked out power, officials said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties after the typhoon hit Fuga Island off Aparri town in Cagayan province, where 15,843 people were evacuated from high-risk coastal villages.
