MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Parma cut a path across the Philippines’ northern edge Saturday, killing four people but sparing the capital from a second flood disaster as the storm churned toward Taiwan.
Still, winds of 108 mph battered towns in at least two provinces and pelted the northeast of the country with downpours that swelled rivers to bursting, toppled power pylons and trees, and cut communication lines to outlying towns, officials said.
Parma was heading northwest toward Taiwan, which declared a storm warning Saturday and began evacuating villages in southern Kaohsiung county, where 700 people were killed in a typhoon in August.
