Typhoon Hagupit has made landfall in the town of Dolores in the
eastern Philippines, the country's weather agency says.The storm knocked out electricity and felled trees in the area, though no casualties have been reported.
Over half a million have fled coastal villages in the past few days ahead of the storm's arrival.
The typhoon is on course for the city of Tacloban, where thousands were killed by Typhoon Haiyan a year ago.
It has weakened slightly but gusts are still peaking at 195km/h (120mph).
Thousands of passengers were left stranded after Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific cancelled more than 150 flights to the central and southern Philippines on Friday and Saturday, and sea travel services were suspended.
