Manila typhoon kills at least 16 in massive flooding

Manila was hit hard with a typhoon killing at least 16 people by flooding. Most deaths occurred in metropolitan. Solders and police work together to try to evacuate the country. As floods and high winds take over the cities. Many people are trapped and left with no were to go. This time people acted a little quicker and evacuated over 2,000 people to a elementary school with lots of their goods and pets. Typhoon Nesat hit ashore before dawn Tuesday in eastern provinces and headed inland just north of Manila with up to an inch of rain per hour, half that of the storm two years ago, said government forecaster Samuel Duran. There were over 100,000 people across the country that were moved to shelter. People are still stranded but they think the worst is now over and hope to recover from this nasty typhoon.

~~I think that people that live in Manila are very brave for living there because I hate it when it rains really hard and there are strong win

ds and for them to withstand 120 km/h winds is crazy. Im really

impressed with hoe the army and police and everyone worked together to move people and help each other to safety. In the end I hope that everything goes well for Manila
