Second Typhoon Hits........

Typhoon Parma slammed into the Philippines on Saturday, ripping off roofs, toppling power pylons and swelling rivers in the country's mountainous north. At least two people were killed. The storm — the country's second in eight days — cut a path across the northeastern tip of the main island of Luzon and was headed in the direction of Taiwan, where evacuations of southern villages were under way.

Evacuees line up in floodwaters to receive pack meals and bottled water at San Pedro township, Laguna province, south of Manila, Philippines, Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009. Tropical storm Ketsana brought the worst flooding in metropolitan Manila and neighboring provinces in more than 40 years. Tens of thousands of villagers fled the likely path of a powerful typhoon bearing down on the Philippines, as the government braced for the possibility of a second disaster just days after a storm killed hundreds.
