At least four people have been killed by Typhoon Kammuri as it ripped across the Philippines on Tuesday.
Officials attributed the low death toll to the early evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents from villages prone to flooding and landslides, The Associated Press reported.
Kammuri, known locally as Tisoy, made landfall late Monday night in Albay province, about 210 miles southeast of Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.
As the typhoon moved over Legazpi city, it ripped off roofs and knocked down power lines, the New York Times reported.
