"REAL, Philippines : Rescuers were desperately searching for survivors
Tuesday after floods and landslides unleashed by a tropical storm in the
Philippines killed more than 300 people and left at least 150 others
missing, many buried alive under tonnes of debris.

Continued bad weather and darkness severely hampered relief efforts as
rescuers tried to reach 150 people missing in Real, one of three devastated
towns on the east coast of Luzon island that bore the brunt of the storm
which struck Monday, officials said.

A deadly mix of logs and earth dislodged by heavy rain buried several areas
in Real, Infanta and Nakar towns shortly before midnight after Monday's
storm, rescuers and survivors told AFP.

Raging floodwaters carrying heavy logs knocked down bridges connecting the
three towns, isolating them from vehicular traffic. The tropical
depression struck Infanta and Real on Monday before dissipating over the
Sierra Madre, the weather bureau said.

Meanwhile, another tropical storm bore down on the Philippines from the
Pacific Ocean with maximum sustained winds of 110 kilometers (68 miles) an
hour."
