A typhoon with winds of up to 130mph has been battering the Philippines knocking out power and bringing down trees.
More than 600,000 people had fled their homes ahead of Typhoon Hagupit hitting Samar Island in the east of the country, still reeling from last year's devastating storm which left more than 7,300 people dead or missing.
Hagupit - Filipino for "smash" or "lash" - made landfall in the coastal town of Dolores.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
In Legazpi, a school was used as an evacuation centre for several adults and children, while makeshift homes were damaged in the city of Tacloban causing many residents to flee to storm shelters, a sports stadium and even churches.
People could be seen walking through flooded waters on a street, trying to save their belongings.
Although unlikely to reach the unprecedented strength of Typhoon Haiyan, which wrought chaos last November, Hagupit's strong winds and heavy rain are enough to threaten major damage to the impoverished region.
