Philippines hit by year's most powerful storm; Typhoon Goni

Typhoon Goni is barrelling across the Philippines, bringing with it "catastrophic" 225km/h (140mph) winds and torrential rainfall.

At least four people are dead. Homes have been damaged and roads are flash flooding.
Goni made landfall as a super typhoon at Catanduanes island on Sunday at 04:50 local time.
It has since weakened as it crosses the main island of Luzon, where the capital Manila is located.
But forecasters, in a severe weather bulletin, still warned of "catastrophic violent winds and intense to torrential rainfall" as well as flash-flooding, landslides and "sediment-laden streamflows".
Goni - known as Rolly in the Philippines - is the most powerful storm to hit the country since Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6,000 people in 2013.
There is concern for the small town of Virac on Catanduanes island, home to some 70,000, where contact has been lost since Goni made landfall.
he Philippines is used to powerful storms - it is hit by an average of 20 storms and typhoons a year and lost 22 people when Typhoon Molave barrelled through the same region few days ago.
