Nayagarh,(Baghuabarta): A tropical storm set off landslides and flash flooding as it barrelled over the tip of the northern Philippines overnight, and officials said Tuesday at least nine people had been killed and 11 were missing. More than 1,600 villagers were evacuated from homes in several towns and cities swamped by floods and battered by pounding rains and wind that toppled trees and knocked down power. Tropical Storm Kompasu was last tracked over the South China Sea about 315 kilometers (195 miles) west of Cagayan province with sustained winds of 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour and gusts of 125 kph (78 mph), government forecasters said.
