Philippines Begin Clean Up After Typhoon Hagupit

In the Philippines, it's again time for clean up, after typhoon Hagupit ripped through the region.

So far, more than a million people have been affected by Hagupit and the Red Cross says the storm is responsible for 27 deaths.

But hundreds of thousands of people evacuated , or moved to a safer area, as warnings from the government's weather center alerted residents of the storm's danger.

The now downgraded typhoon is moving slowly, dumping heavy rain over the capital city of manila, leaving concerns of flooding and mudslides as residents start to pick up the pieces.
