However, the country has started massive clean-up and repair after the weather improved.
Reports indicate that falling trees or walls hit many people who died. Others drowned in flash floods or were buried alive in the landslides.
Typhoon Rai reportedly was worse than the typhoon Haiyan that devasted the Philippines in November 2013.
Many people could have died supposed they were not evacuated from the high-risk zones in the country before the typhoon arrived.

Some of the providers raised concerns that they would run out of fuel since they now consume a lot to run generators due to power outages.
