Hong Kong, densely packed by skyscrapers, began a massive clean-up today after Mangkhut raked the city of around seven million, shredding trees and bringing damaging floods.

One terrifying video from Chinese social media showed a high-rise residential building in Hong Kong apparently swaying back and forth in the powerful storm. Another shocking clip captured a crane crashing down from the top of a 22-storey building in the downtown of the financial hub.

In the Philippines, where the main island of Luzon was mauled with fierce winds and rain, the death toll rose to 65 overnight as rescuers pulled more bodies from a huge landslide in the mountain town of Itogon. Dozens more are missing amid fears none will be found alive in the rubble.  

Mangkhut has been downgraded to a tropical storm this morning. It’s expected to continue moving inland in China in a north-west direction.
