There is bad news. A big ocean storm is coming. Super Typhoon Mangkhut(山竹) is set to hit Southeast Asia. The storm also threatens the Philippines and Hong Kong. The super typhoon in the Philippines has winds of up to 250 kilometers per hour. That is considered the most severe hurricane in North America.

The storm could affect more than 4 million Filipinos. Emergency officials say nearly 48,000 houses in high-risk areas are made of light materials. And theses houses could be damaged by the powerful winds. Experts say Super Typhoon Mangkhut could cause landslides and flooding across the northern Philippine island of Luzon. The super typhoon is expected to reach the Philippines on Saturday at the start of the harvest season in Luzon. The island is a major agricultural producer. The farmers are trying to save their crops.

Mangkhut already has hit the U.S. island territory of Guam. The Pacific Daily News reported the storm flooded streets. Many trees were pulled down and electrical service was also broken. About 80 percent of the island was without power but service restarted by Thursday morning. Mangkhut is the 15th storm to hit the Philippines and the most powerful to hit Asia this year. Last week, a separate typhoon Jebi struck Japan and killed more than 10 people.
