At least three people have died and nearly 400,000 have fled their homes as Typhoon Kalmaegi hit the Philippines. The storm flooded large parts of Cebu, sweeping away cars and shipping containers. Many residents sheltered on rooftops as water levels rose. A military helicopter helping rescue efforts crashed in Mindanao, with no word yet on survivors. Governor Pamela Baricuatro called the flooding “unprecedented.” Winds of over 80 mph have caused severe damage, though the typhoon is now weakening. The storm comes weeks after two deadly typhoons and heavy monsoon rains that already left much of the country struggling to recover. (PC: BBC)
