Hard-hit

Toppled electric poles lie on the highway in Tumauini township Tuesday, a day after Typhoon Megi (local name "Juan") barreled through Isabela province in northeastern Philippines. The super typhoon dumped heavy rains over the Philippine capital Tuesday after killing at least 10 people, creating a wasteland of fallen trees in the north and sending thousands scrambling to safety in near-zero visibility.
