In the Philippines, the typhoon has caused widespread flooding, landslides, and power outages. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes, and at least 10 people have been killed.
The typhoon also caused significant damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and buildings. In some areas, entire villages have been wiped out.
The typhoon weakened as it crossed into China, but it still caused significant damage in the southern province of Guangdong.
In Guangdong, the typhoon caused flooding, landslides, and power outages. At least three people have been killed in the province, and thousands have been displaced from their homes.
