Typhoon Melor has killed at least one person, caused power cuts and disrupted transportation after churning across several islands in the archipelago since Monday. On Tuesday morning, the storm unexpectedly regained force, with its maximum sustained winds rising to 230 kph (145 mph), according to the U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. That made it the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane just as it slammed into an area of the western island of Mindoro where tens of thousands of people live. The storm, known in the Philippines as Nona, hasn't made any direct hits on major population centers. But it has battered communities along the many coastlines on its path.
