Terrifying videos documenting the passage of Typhoon Ray on the Philippines and the extent of the damage it caused to the country

Weather of Arabia - At least 75 people were killed in the Philippines as a result of Hurricane Ray, the most powerful typhoon to hit the country this year, according to what the authorities announced on Sunday.

Hurricane Ray hit the famous tourist island of Siargao on Thursday (December 16), and it was a super typhoon, with winds reaching more than 195 kilometers per hour.

During the storm, "everyone was flying like it was the end of the world," said Ravi Ribdos, owner of a travel company to the island.

More than 300,000 people have been forced to leave their homes and tourist resorts since Thursday, due to Hurricane Ray, which led to power and communications cuts in many areas after destroying communication towers, bringing down electricity poles, uprooting trees and demolishing homes.

Here are videos of super-strong Typhoon Ray before and after it hit the Philippines:

The Philippines annually hits about twenty typhoons that sow destruction in homes and destroy crops and infrastructure in areas already suffering from poverty. The super-strong typhoon "Hayan" was the most deadly typhoon in the Philippines with the death or loss of 7,300 people in 2013.
