MANILA - Typhoon Tisoy (Kammuri) on Tuesday lashed the Philippines with strong winds and heavy rains, leaving in its wake uprooted trees, inundated towns, and a damaged airport in southern Luzon.

The powerful storm hit land in Sorsogon late Monday, bringing intense rains to the southernmost province of Luzon island and neighboring areas.

In nearby Albay, powerful winds ripped apart portions of Legazpi Airport's walls and ceilings, and tore roofs off several houses.
