Around 24,000 people from the Philippines are being evacuated today with Typhoon Maysak is just a day away from potentially striking the country's north east coast. Officials said, storm surges, flash floods and landslides remained potential threats even though Maysak. Once a super-typhoon, it has now weakened with maximum sustained winds of 160 kilometres per hour. They said they are planning to move people out of coastal villages. In all, some 24,000 people from the coastal province of Aurora, where the typhoon is projected to make landfall early tomorrow, would be evacuated.

State weather forecaster Alczar Aurelio said having started out in the Pacific Ocean, Maysak is expected to weaken further as it crosses the main Philippine island of Luzon tomorrow. Aurelio said large waves of up to two metres are expected to hit the area.
