More than 150,000 people have been evacuated in the Philippines due to typhoon Kalmaegi, with authorities warning of torrential rains, winds and waves up to three meters high. This was reported on November 3 by the Associated Press (AP), citing sources.

"Typhoon Kalmaegi is expected to hit the coast on Monday evening or Tuesday morning. He was last seen about 95 km southeast of the city of Guiuan in the province of East Samar. The wind speed reached 140 km/h, and gusts reached 170 km/h," the publication says.
