Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Friday, 1 December 2006, 06:48 GMT Typhoon kills 146 in Philippines At least 146 people have been killed in the Philippines by a mudslide triggered by a typhoon, the Red Cross says. Rains caused by Typhoon Durian brought mud and rocks down hillsides, burying two villages in the foothills of the Mayon volcano, south-east of Manila. Five other villages were also affected, and as the search for the survivors continues, the death toll may rise. In September, nearly 200 people were killed when Typhoon Xangsane hit the north and centre of the country. The mudslides hit Albay province, with main casualties occurring in the villages of Daraga, Busay and Santo Domingo. The area affected is near the city of Legaspi, 350km (220 miles) from the capital, Manila. Disaster zone " Our initial reports showed a total of 146 people were killed in three areas buried by mudslides, " the head of local Red Cross Richard Gordon told Reuters news agency. He said at least 75 people were still missing across Albay province. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6197478.stm Dasha: Sa/Sa/Ke/Ju/Me MEP1/ MEP7 are under the compound affliction of transit Rahu/Ketu and transit Mars, weakening all the natal/transit planets placed there.
