At least two dead from ''Egay'' as typhoon weakens
At least two were reported dead from Typhoon ''Egay'', which slightly weakened as it moved northwest, officials said Wednesday.
A student was declared dead on arrival in Baguio City as his family's home was hit by a landslide while a person was found in Cardona, Rizal.
Baguio City sustained damage as Benguet Province was one of those areas which bore the brunt of ''Egay'' which was super typhoon at one point. The summer capital of the Philippines suffered a power outage with officials not sure when electricity will return.
''Egay'' slightly weakened as it moved northwest, leading the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) to lower warning signals in several areas, including Metro Manila.
Located 95 kilometers west-northwest of Calayan, Cagayan, ''Egay'' was travelling at 15 kilometers per hour as Pagasa forecasts it to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibilty Thursday morning.
''Egay'' had maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 215 kilometers per hour.
