The storm, with gusts of more than 230 km/h, sent buildings swaying and waters surging into homes and shopping malls, with some roads waist-deep in water.

The hurricane made landfall in North and SC on Friday, bringing high winds, heavy rains, and a potentially deadly storm surge.

Consul General to Hong Kong Antonio Morales said "a Filipina tourist underwent leg surgery after she was hit by flying debris", while "another Filipina was also hurt by falling debris but needed no hospital treatment". "The storm slowed as it made landfall in mainland China's Pearl River Delta region". Macau is a famous gambling enclave and it too shut its casinos.

Mayor Victorio Palangdan of Itogon town in Benguet province, among the worst-hit by the typhoon that struck Saturday, said in a news conference that there's "99 percent (chance) that they really are all dead".

Police and their vehicles could not immediately reach the landslide-hit area because the ground was unstable and soaked from the heavy rains, regional police chief Rolando Nana told the ABS-CBN TV network.

A Philippine national police report said the death toll as of Monday midday was 65, with 43 people missing and 64 injured.

The hardest-hit area was Benguet province, where 38 people died, mostly in the two landslides in Itogon, and 37 are missing, the police said.
