A typhoon left a trail of flooding and destruction across the Philippines. Authorities reported up to 18 people died, while more than 1.4 million were displaced or evacuated as rivers burst banks and landslides blocked major roads.

Rescue and repair teams are working around the clock as power lines remain down in many areas. The national weather agency says the storm has now weakened and is heading toward Taiwan, but local officials warn the danger may not yet be over for remaining flood-prone communities.
