Eight people have died and 27,000 were evacuated after Tropical Storm Fengshen hit the Philippines over the weekend. The storm made landfall near Gubat on Luzon's southern tip, causing significant damage due to intense rainfall and a storm surge despite relatively weak winds. Five deaths occurred when a tree fell onto a house in Pitogo. The Philippine weather bureau issued warnings of moderate coastal flooding with anticipated waves up to 2 meters high. Fengshen is expected to strengthen slightly as it moves towards Vietnam after crossing the Philippines into the South China Sea. Additionally, heavy rainfall and potential flooding are forecast for parts of eastern India due to the north-east monsoon season.
