Typhoon Rammasun, locally known as Glenda, has charted a destructive path across a highly populated area of the northern Philippines.
A number of people have died.
The eye of the storm passed south of the capital, Manila, but the city was brought to a standstill as schools and official buildings were closed and flights cancelled.
The Philippine National Red Cross said around 370,000 people, mostly in the eastern province of Albay which was the first to be hit by the typhoon, were evacuated.
The worst of Typhoon Rammasun came ashore about 250 miles north of Tacloban City, the area devastated Super Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.
