Typhoon 'Smash': 150mph Winds To Hit Philippines

A powerful storm with winds nearing 150mph is heading for the central Philippines, prompting an outbreak of panic-buying as villagers flee coastal homes.

The anticipated arrival in Eastern Samar province on Saturday of Typhoon Hagupit - Filipino for "smash" - comes a year after Typhoon Haiyan left more than 7,300 dead as it swept inland along the same route.

Meteorologists tracking it over the Pacific, 435 miles off the country's eastern coast, say it has sustained winds of 127mph and gusts as high as 149mph.

Haiyan survivor Emily Sagales said many of her neighbours in central Tacloban city, which was ravaged by Haiyan, had packed their clothes and fled to a sports stadium and safer homes of relatives.

She said long queues had formed at food stores and petrol stations as residents stocked up on basic goods.

The 23-year-old, who saw her mother-in-law killed and her home washed away in Haiayan, gave birth to her first child in a crowded makeshift clinic following the disaster.

"The trauma has returned," she said.
