The Philippines is preparing to face the effects of the Manngkhu typhoon, which will strike the country in less than 24 hours, with winds reaching up to 255 miles per hour and heavy rainfall.

Thousands have fled their homes north of the coast where the storm is expected to arrive, while other residents are trying to protect their homes as much as possible before leaving.

Civil defense spokesman told the media that high waves are predicted as a four-story palace. But the most disturbing are floods and landslides in hilly areas. Farmers in the region are picking up corn and corn before the typhoon comes.

There are at least 4 million residents in the area expected to be affected by the typhoon, which is then expected to move to China, especially Hoong Kong. The deadliest typhoon in the history of the Philippines is the one in 2013 when Hayan killed more than 7350 people.
