Typhoon Toraji struck the Philippines on Monday, causing significant disruptions. Around 2,500 villages were ordered to evacuate, with approximately 7,000 people moved from coastal and landslide-prone areas.
Fortunately, there have been no immediate reports of casualties.
Toraji struck near Dilasag town, about 220 kilometres north-east of the country's capital, Manila, the national weather agency said.
The Philippines has been hit by three other cyclones in the past month, resulting in 159 deaths.
The economic impact is still being assessed, but the repeated storms have strained resources and disrupted local economies, especially in the agricultural sector.
The typhoon caused downed trees and power pylons, blocking major roads. Schools and government offices were also shut in the hardest-hit areas.
The weather outlook for the next two days: Severe winds and heavy rainfall across the north of the country, with a moderate to high risk of a storm surge.
A tropical depression could potentially strike the region as early as Thursday night. The typhoon is forecast to move out to the South China Sea.
