One dead as Typhoon Doksuri batters Philippines, threatens Taiwan

At least one person has been killed in the Philippines after Typhoon Doksuri lashed northern parts of the archipelago, ripping off roofs, knocking out power, flooding low-lying villages and displacing thousands of people. List 1 of 4 China, Philippines brace for year's most powerful typhoon. List 2 of 4 Tens of thousands flee as Typhoon Talim lashes China, Vietnam. The national disaster agency said at least one person died in the Philippine province of Rizal, east of the capital Manila, in the wake of the typhoon. A damage assessment would be done after the typhoon passes but Mamba said he feared there could be extensive damage to Cagayan valley's corn and rice farms, which had already been battered by a months-long dry spell before Doksuri hit. China's National Meteorological Centre upgraded its typhoon warning alert to red from orange as of 10am, the highest advisory among the four-tier colour-coded warning system. Doksuri would be the second typhoon to make landfall in China in less than two weeks after Talim slammed into Guangdong province on the evening of July 17.
