Flood havoc

, September 20, 2014

People ride in a improvised bicycle trolley while travelling down a flooded street after Tropical Storm Fung-Wong battered Cainta, Rizal province, east of Manila on September 20. Storm Fung-Wong churned towards Taiwan on Saturday after killing at least five people in the Philippines, and forcing some 200,000 people into temporary shelter, including in the capital Manila, to escape massive flooding. Fung-Wong, with winds of 95 kph and gusts of 120 kph, slammed in the northern tip of the Philippines on Friday, cutting power in many areas and soaking rice and corn farms and bringing the capital to a near standstill. - Reuters/Romeo Ranoco
