MANILA, Philippines (September 30, 2009)—Typhoon Ketsana, one of the most destructive storms in years, is extending its deadly path across Southeast Asia.
It has blown down wooden villages in Cambodia and crushed Vietnamese houses under mudslides after submerging much of the Philippine capital.
The death toll has climbed to more 300 and is still rising.
The immediate threat is easing though.
Ketsana has been downgraded to a tropical depression as it crosses into a fourth nation, Laos, but its powerful winds and pummeling rain left a snaking trail of destruction.
At least 52 people are known dead in Vietnam.
In neighboring Cambodia, at least 11 people have died.
Another tropical storm is headed toward the southern Philippines, but was still 600 miles off the coast Wednesday.
Forecasters said if it stays on its current path, it could bring winds more powerful than Ketsana's and driving rain back to the Manila area Saturday.
