The storm is also bringing heavy rains to parts of the northern Philippines from Monday to Tuesday, mainly in Cagayan province, which is just south of Taiwan. Typhoon Haikui hit Taiwan in early September, the first typhoon to make landfall in years. It uprooted trees and damaged cars, and injured dozens, but did not cause any catastrophic damage.
