Typhoon Koppu left at least four people dead in the Philippines, shutting schools and government offices, while floods and landslides continue to threaten the nations main Luzon island.
Esmeralda Ronquillo sleeps lightly at night, fearing she wont be quick enough to protect her daughter when an earthquake that experts say could kill tens of thousands hits the Philippine capital.
The Philippines evacuated thousands of people to safer ground and stockpiled food as the country prepares for Super Typhoon Hagupit, a category-5 storm expected to make landfall tomorrow.
