Nueva Ecija, Philippines
Pigs and a water buffalo are brought to higher ground in Sta Rosa, Nueva Ecija in northern Philippines October 19, 2015 after it was hit by Typhoon Koppu. The typhoon swept across the northern Philippines killing at least nine people as trees, power lines and walls were toppled and flood waters spread far from riverbeds, but tens of thousands of people were evacuated in time. Officials fear the death toll may rise after Typhoon Koppu tore through the main island of Luzon on Sunday leaving several remote towns and villages isolated due to flash floods and toppled trees and boulders blocking roads.
