A week of relentless rains in the northern Philippines have put dozens of towns and villages under water, with more than 100 people drowned or killed by landslides, officials said on Friday. The rains were brought by Typhoon Parma.

Typhoon Melor was gathering strength as it traveled along Japan's southern coast with sustained winds of about 100 miles per hour, causing power outages and disrupting air and train travel.

Typhoon Parma crossed the northern tip of the already storm-battered Philippines on Saturday and early Sunday, triggering landslides that killed at least 12 people, local media reported.

The country's second storm in eight days cuts across the northeastern tip of the main island of Luzon and heads toward Taiwan. Typhoon Parma slammed into the Philippines today, ripping off roofs, toppling power pylons and swelling rivers in the country's mountainous north.
