Typhoon Goni made landfall in the Philippines and weather officials predicted “catastrophic wind damage” as it roared through the country.
Goni, a super typhoon, had sustained winds of 135 miles per hour at its center and gusts of 165 miles per hour as of early Sunday. The eye of the storm is expected to pass near Metro Manila, the capital region, which is home to 24 million people. Above, Filipino villagers rest inside a school.
And in Turkey, residents of Izmir were holding out hope for survivors as dramatic rescues unfolded after a magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck in the Aegean Sea, killing at least 39 people in Turkey and Greece, injuring more than 800 and leveling numerous residential buildings.
