Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae slammed into the Philippines after unleashing flash floods and landslides that left at least 45 people dead, according to a sharply revised official tally.
Nalgae pounded the archipelago nation’s main island of Luzon with maximum winds of 95kph after making landfall on the sparsely populated Catanduanes island before dawn yesterday.
