Powerful typhoon Nock-Ten is continuing to batter the Philippines, as it heads towards the area around the heavily-populated capital Manila.
The storm has weakened since making landfall on the eastern coast on Sunday, but it still packs winds up to 140 km/h (87mph), meteorologists say.
Civil defence officials have been put on “red alert”, as the storm is due to hit the city later on Monday.
The storm cut power lines and uprooted trees, but no deaths were reported.
Manila’s civil defence office warned that the capital could be hit by “heavy to intense rains, flash floods and severe winds”.
“Our local disaster councils are on red alert,” Mina Marasigan, spokeswoman of the country’s disaster monitoring council, was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
“We have pre-positioned relief supplies and rescue and (road) clearing equipment in Metro Manila,” she added.
