Typhoon Kalmaegi Devastates Philippines, Heads to Vietnam

The Philippines has declared a state of calamity after Typhoon Kalmaegi caused severe flooding, resulting in at least 114 deaths, 127 missing, and 82 injured. The storm, one of the strongest this year, affected central Philippines, particularly Cebu, where 71 deaths were reported. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr declared the state of calamity to access emergency funds and fast-track relief efforts. The typhoon has since moved towards central Vietnam, where it is expected to make landfall, causing further disruptions.

Typhoon Kalmaegi caused widespread destruction and loss of life in the Philippines, killing at least 114 people and displacing tens of thousands. The storm made landfall as a category 2 hurricane and brought heavy rainfall, triggering flash floods and landslides. The Philippines is prone to typhoons, but Kalmaegi's slow movement and heavy rainfall exacerbated the damage. The storm is now heading towards Vietnam, where it is expected to make landfall as a category 4 hurricane, threatening further flooding and damage. The region is still recovering from recent devastating floods, and the impact of Kalmaegi is likely to be severe.

Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, made landfall in the Philippines on Tuesday, causing widespread destruction and killing at least 66 people. The storm brought sustained winds of 87mph and gusts of up to 121mph, with Cebu province being particularly affected. The province, which was still recovering from a 6.9 magnitude earthquake in September, declared a state of calamity to facilitate emergency funding. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated before the typhoon's landfall, and the storm is expected to reach Vietnam's coasts on Friday.
