Second landfall in that country theres great concern at this hour about the potential for storm surges, flooding and mudslides. Right now the storm is pounding the islands with relentless torrential rain as it churns slowly across the nation. Many people in the philippines had evacuated in preparation for the typhoon. Tens of thousands are being allowed to return home. We were talking early about the sheer force of that wind and that, of course, is pushing the water into the coastline there. There are fears of a storm surge. What your seeing there now . Reporter yeah. Hi. Im hearing you intermittently. This is the time that were expecting that storm surge to hit us. Its high tide and i cant tell you how strong the wind is just before you came to me i was practically sideways and our equipment almost fell over. Its coming at us from a different direction, virtually every hour which is why we have to change positions whenever you come to us. Its hard to know which way the wind is coming
