Second leaves United Press International storm within a week 325 dead in Philippines SURIGAO, Philippines — The second storm to rampage through the Philippines in less than a week left at least 325 people dead, 200,000 others homeless and the southern city of Surigao in ruins be fore heading out to the South China Sea Monday. Typhoon Ike, the most powerful storm to hit the Philippines in 14 years with peak winds of 137 mph, slammed into the sugbr-producing central Cebu province Sunday and roared across seven major islands in two days. Ike headed out to the South China Sea toward Vietnam Monday after destroying 90 percent of the houses in Surigao, where more thdn 330 people were injured and some 300 others were reported missing. “The city looks like it was bombed,” said a witness in the south ern port city strewn with uprooted coconut trees and houses ripped into heaps of splintered wood and crum pled sheets of corrugated metal. Surigao city Mayor Constancio Navarro said 82 people died and 94,000 of the city’s 135,000 residents were left homeless. The city, 450 miles southeast of Manila, was also left powerless with short supplies of fresh water. “Typhoons are not taken very se riously here,” Navarro said. “We are used to it. But then the winds started to become very strong. The people were really caught by it.” Offshore, on the tiny island of Nonoc another 25 were killed, Armed Forces Chief Gen. Fabian Ver said in Manila. In the laReshore town of Maiinit, 29 miles southwest of Surigao, at least 200 others Were killed when the lake overflowed its banks and swept away their homes, said the town’s army commander, Col. Eduardo Picar. Picar was among several officials who briefed reporters on their arri val in Surigao aboard a C-130 trans port loaded with 35,000 tons of re lief supplies. Another six people died on the sugar-producing central Philippine island of Negros, seven on the resort island of Cebu and six in the south ern province of Misamis Oriental on Mindanao, the Office of Civil De fense reported. Damage from the two-day storm was estimated to be in the millions, with total damage in Cebu alone placed at $6.8 million. OCD said excluding Surigao, 105,828 people had been left home less.
