    Over the next 12 hours, "catastrophic violent winds and intense to torrential rainfall" would be experienced in the Bicol region, which covers the southern end of the main island of Luzon and Catanduanes, it said. "This a particularly dangerous situation for these areas." Image Credit: AFP

    Goni - which intensified into a "super" typhoon as it neared the Philippines - comes a week after Typhoon Molave hit the same region of the natural disaster-prone archipelago. That storm killed 22 people and flooded low-lying villages and farmland, before crossing the South China Sea to Vietnam. Image Credit: AFP

    "The winds are fierce. We can hear the trees being pummelled. It's very strong," Francia Mae Borras, 21, told AFP from her home in the coastal city of Legazpi. The roofs of two evacuation centres were ripped off by the force of the wind and the occupants moved to the ground floors, Albay provincial public safety chief Cedric Daep told DZBB radio station.

    Civil Defense chief Ricardo Jalad said Saturday that "almost a million" people had been evacuated from their homes in the Bicol region. But spokesman Alexis Naz said Sunday that around 316,000 had fled to safety so far. "We're seeing toppled trees outside our office. It's really strong. The rain is intense," Naz said.

    "Our last contact with our people in Catanduanes was at 3.30am. They told us the rain and wind were really strong there. And then the system went down." Up to 31 million people were in Goni's path, authorities said, including in Manila where there are plans to evacuate residents from low-lying slum areas at risk of being inundated by several metre high storm surges.

    The capital's airport has been closed. Loud alarms blared from mobile phones as the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council issued an emergency alert warning of strong winds for Manila and surrounding provinces in the coming hours. Authorities spent Saturday marshalling rescue vehicles, emergency response teams and relief goods before the storm's arrival. Image Credit: AFP

    Schools which have been empty since the start of the coronavirus pandemic are being used as emergency shelters as are government-run evacuation centres and gymnasiums. "Evacuating people is more difficult at this time because of COVID-19," Naz said earlier. Image Credit: AP
