Millions of people in the Philippines were on high alert Wednesday for one of the strongest typhoons to ever hit the disaster-battered country, with authorities warning of giant storm surges and destructive winds.
Typhoon Sarika killed two people and displaced more than 15,000 in the northern Philippines on Sunday as the nation braced for a super typhoon later in the week.
Filipinos were awaiting on Saturday the latest weather news and making preparations as Typhoon Sarika approaches the east coast of the main island of Luzon.
