Typhoon Kalmaegi

Typhoon Kalmaegi left at least 10 people dead in the Philippines and caused landslides, flash floods and storm surge Sunday. The storm generated heavy winds and large waves which sank a stalled ferry over the weekend, killing eight people.
The storm is already responsible for a trail of damage in the Philippines over the weekend. Officials say that a baby was pinned to death when a tree fell on a house in the Philippines' Cagayan province late Sunday, and a landslide killed a construction worker in Nueva Vizcaya province.

Residents in at least nine northern provinces, which have been drenched by days of rains, were earlier warned to take precautions and stay away from already soggy mountainsides and swollen rivers.
Kalmaegi was the 12th weather disturbance to batter the Philippines this year. The calamity-prone archipelago is lashed by about 20 storms each year.
