Typhoon Nesat Hits Philippines

A powerful Typhoon has hit the Philippines, causing flooding, power loss, and halting work in many cities.  The storm registered winds up to 105 mph, and is now heading across the country.  Projections show the storm leaving the country and heading towards China by Thursday.  The storm caused over a 100,000 people to evacuate their homes, one death, and four others reported missing.  Due to warning systems, people were able to evacuate before the storm struck, greatly decreasing the chance for injuries or loss of life.
