Thousands were stranded at shuttered ports or evacuation centres at the height of the festive season on Wednesday, and residents cowered in rain-soaked homes as Phanfone leapt from one small island to another for the second day. Though weaker, Phanfone was tracking a similar path as Super Typhoon Haiyan -- the country's deadliest cyclone on record which left more than 7,300 people dead or missing in 2013.
The weather office said the typhoon strengthened slightly overnight Tuesday and was gusting at 195 kilometres an hour, velocities that can knock down small trees and destroy houses made of light materials.
