Typhoon Kalmaegi killed more than 50 people in the Philippines, most in flooding that swept through towns in central provinces, officials said on Wednesday, just over a month after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake killed nearly 80 people.

Typhoon Kalmaegi was forecast to slam into shore Monday night or early Tuesday. It was last spotted about 95 kilometers (59 miles) southeast of Guiuan town in Eastern Samar province, with sustained winds of up to 140 kilometers (87 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 170 kph (106 mph).
