Thousands of people in the Philippines have fled from their homes ahead of a powerful storm, Super-Typhoon Megi, which is expected to reach the north of the country early on Monday.Megi, which has winds of up to more than 280km/h (175mph), is then forecast to move towards the South China Sea. It is the strongest storm the Philippines has faced this year. In 2006, a storm with winds of 155km/h triggered mudslides, burying villages and killing about 1,000 people.
