Philippines: Typhoon Bualoi weakens into storm

Typhoon Bualoi has weakened into a storm after hitting the eastern Philippines overnight, and is now moving across the central region. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated pre-emptively from landslide- and flood-prone villages long traumatized by deadly typhoons. Bualoi is the latest of back-to-back storms from the Pacific to threaten Asia. Typhoon Ragasa, one of the strongest to hit in years, left at least 25 people dead—mostly in drownings in the northern Philippines and Taiwan—affected millions, and forced businesses and airports to shut down in southeastern China and Hong Kong before dissipating on Thursday in Vietnam.
