Manila, Philippines – Tropical Storm Trami has blown away from the northwestern Philippines on Friday, leaving behind a trail of destruction. The storm has claimed at least 66 lives due to devastating landslides and widespread flooding. Authorities have been forced to scramble for more rescue boats to save thousands of terrified residents, many of whom were trapped on their rooftops.
The torrential rains triggered by Trami caused rivers to overflow, inundating communities and agricultural lands. Emergency services have been working around the clock, but the scale of the disaster has stretched resources thin. \
