Typhoon Kalmaegi has left at least 85 people dead with 75 others missing in the central Philippines, many in widespread flooding that trapped people on their roofs and swept away scores of cars in a hard-hit province still recovering from a deadly earthquake, officials said on Wednesday.

Most of the deaths were reported in the central province of Cebu, which was pummeled by Kalmaegi on Tuesday. Kalmaegi blew away from western Palawan province into the South China Sea before noon on Wednesday, with sustained winds of up to 130 kmph and gusts of up to 180 kmph, according to forecasters.
