Before making landfall in Vietnam, Kalmaegi left a trail of devastation in the Philippines – and at least 114 people dead.

Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has declared a state of emergency – the threshold of which involves mass casualty, major damage to property, and disruption to means of livelihoods and the normal way of life for people in the affected areas.

The typhoon, known locally as Tino, ripped through the populous island of Cebu, submerging entire towns and sweeping cars through the streets. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, others are resting in shelters.
