Typhoon Chanchu triggered landslides and prompted evacuations in the central Philippines on Friday, as it tracked northwestward bringing winds gusting over 100 mph (160 km/h).

As of 10 am Friday, Chanchu was around 150 miles (240 km) southeast of the Philippine capital Manila. The typhoon is forecast to pass through the city by Saturday, with winds gusting over 115 mph (185 km/h). Chanchu will then pass into the South China Sea and pick up more energy from the warm waters, causing it to intensify further. Vietnam, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan will all be monitoring Chanchu closely to see where it heads from there
