Typhoon Lando has killed at least 28 people in the Philippines since it landed Sunday morning. Tropical Storm Lando (Also called Koppu) is still dangerous and has potential to cause further flooding according to Philippine authorities. It is currently wreaking havoc in the Ilocos Norte province, on the north-western tip of Luzon.
According to the BBC, “One of the worst-hit areas was Nueva Ecija province, north of Manila, where a state of calamity has been declared. The storm did not hit there directly, but villages were inundated by water pouring off nearby mountains, trapping many people on the roofs of their homes.”
