| Bopha seen from space |
Bopha brought heavy rains along with winds of up to one hundred and thirty miles per hour.
Flooding is the norm, power is out everywhere, amid fears of landslides as forty thousand people have been evacuated.
Forty-three of the deaths occurred in Andap village, when a wall of water came down a mountain striking the town hall, where the village had took shelter, and sweeping away an army truck, filled with soldiers and civilians they had tried to rescue.
Another wall of water swept through a military base, leaving twenty people missing.
The entire south of the nation is shut down as the country bears out the storm.
Moving west at about seventeen miles per hour the nearly four hundred mile wide storm is expected to leave the Philippines by Friday.
