Philippines storm Jangmi left at least 29 people dead

Flash floods and landslides triggered by Tropical Storm Jangmi left at least 29 people dead and 10 missing in the Philippines, AP quoted officials as saying Tuesday. Jangmi, packing winds of 65 kilometers an hour and gusts of 80 kilometers an hour, dumped heavy rains Monday on southern Mindanao Island, sending thousands of residents to evacuation centers. The storm then pushed its way through eastern and central islands of the Philippines, where most of the deaths occurred Tuesday. As of Tuesday afternoon, the eye of the storm was 108 kilometers southwest of central Iloilo City, moving west at 19 kilometers an hour toward the western Palawan Island.
