Fourth storm lashes Philippines

The fourth storm to hit the Philippines in a month has lashed the eastern province of Quezon, bringing heavy rain and winds to the region.



Forecasters say Typhoon Mirinae was following the same route as September\'s storm, Ketsana, which dumped the heaviest rains in 40 years on Manila.



Mirinae is expected to hit the capital tomorrow morning.



Officials have ordered the capital\'s 12 million residents and others who live in the path of the typhoon to prepare supplies to last 72 hours.



More than 900 people have died in the multiple storms, including Typhoon Parma, which have battered the Philippines over the last month.



Over 100,000 people remain in government-run evacuation centres, while some communities in Manila remain flooded.
