Residents repair their damaged shanty house along a coastal road in the town of Paranaque, outside of Manila, after Typhoon Conson hit the country’s capital late Tuesday. The typhoon ripped through the main Philippine island, leaving a trail of wreckage in Manila and sweeping shanties into the sea, officials and witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of fatalities but communication systems were down amid the chaos of the typhoon’s aftermath, and disaster relief officials were still trying to determine the extent of the damage. Electricity was knocked out throughout the main island of Luzon, including the country’s capital where fallen tree branches and other debris littered the streets. (Ted Aljibe / AFP / Getty Images)
