On 21 October, Typhoon Teresa hit Philippines (Luzon) with winds up to 150 kph (90 mph), damaging houses and toppling trees and power lines. State of calamity proclaimed in Manila, half of which remained without electricity on 22 October: some areas were also without water. Hardest hit was Polillo island, east of Luzon, with an estimated 90 percent of houses destroyed. So far, seven deaths and thousands of homeless reported, but data from severely hit Pacific coast still incomplete. Damage to crops and property provisionally estimated at $16 million. […] Around Pinatubo volcano, mudflows were triggered by rains, forcing hundreds of families to flee to higher ground.
