Philippines Storms Trigger Deadly Floods

Nearly 200 people have been killed and scores more were missing after flash floods swept through parts of the southern Philippines.
More than 12 hours of torrential rain triggered by tropical storm Washi caused rivers to burst their banks while people slept in the Mindanao region.
The worst-hit cities were Cagayan de Oro, where officials said 107 people had died, and Iligan, where 79 bodies were recovered.
About 250 people are still unaccounted for in Iligan, military spokesman Lt Col Randolph Cabangbang said.
Many of the city's residents managed to escape the floodwaters by climbing onto their roofs, while tens of thousands of people fled to higher ground.
"We stayed on top of our roof. All we could see were lights flashing while we made a hole on our roof to climb on," said one female survivor.
Ayi Hernandez, a former congressman, said he and his family heard a loud "swooshing sound" and water quickly rose ankle deep inside his home.
He decided to evacuate to a neighbour's two-storey house.
"It was a good thing because in less than an hour the water rose to about 11ft (3.3 metres)," he said.
The local government has declared a state of emergency in the flooded regions and sent food and water to the thousands of displaced families
