Huge typhoon to hit Philippines
A powerful typhoon is expected to hit the Philippines in the next 24 hours.
Thousands of people were evacuated ahead of Typhoon Bopha’s arrival which is reported to have winds of up to 130 miles an hour.
"There is no rain yet but they might start experiencing rain tonight. This will be the strongest typhoon this year," Edgardo Ollet, director of the civil defence office in Manila told French press agency AFP.
The weather service said Bopha was expected to bring "intense to heavy rainfall" over Hinatuan and surrounding areas as well as the central Philippine islands.
The Philippines is battered by about 20 typhoons a year, some of them destructive. Bopha is the 16th so far this year.
