At least 10 people have been killed in the Philippines over the weekend by the torrential rain brought by Typhoon Goni, authorities said.
Initially, farmers welcomed the rain, but as the downpour continued, thousands had to be evacuated to higher ground as landslides and floods buried houses and closed roads in northern Philippines.
Goni unleashed nine floods, eight landslides and two tornadoes when it hit the Philippines, CNN reported.
Later, Typhoon Goni moved on to Japan's Ryukyu Islands, where it had gathered record wind speeds of 159 mph (255 km/h).
On Monday, it is set to hit Okinawa's main island. US military bases have been closed, the Okinawa monorail in the city of Naha stopped running, and departures at Naha Airport have been cancelled after 10 a.m. local time.
Goni is one of the twin typhoons that is circling Asia right now. The other typhoon, Atsani, was upgraded to super typhoon status late last week.
