Super Typhoon Maysak

Around 24,000 people from the Philippines were being evacuated today with Typhoon Maysak a day away from potentially striking the country's northeast coast, officials said.

Residents in storm wrecked areas of Micronesia appealed for help today as a cleanup began on the worst affected islands after Super Typhoon Maysak swept through the region on its way towards the Philippines.

The main Micronesian state of Chuuk declared a "disaster emergency" as Super Typhoon Maysak continued to cut a destructive path across the central Pacific on Wednesday.
