    Typhoon Rammasun slams Philippines

    Yahoo News•July 16, 2014
    • A man fixes the roof of his house beside another damaged house after strong winds brought by Typhoon Rammasun (locally name Typhoon Glenda) battered the coastal area of Baseco compound, metro Manila July 17, 2014. The Philippines set to work clearing debris, reconnecting power and rebuilding flattened houses on Thursday after a typhoon swept across the country killing 38 people, with at least eight missing, rescue officials said. Typhoon Rammasun, the strongest storm to hit the Philippines this year, was heading towards China after cutting a path across the main island of Luzon, shutting down the capital and knocking down trees and power lines, causing widespread blackouts.
