Typhoon Usagi has swamped rural villages in floods, knocked down power and displaced thousands more people before blowing away from the northern Philippines, which has been pounded by five major storms in less than a month. Forecasters also say a new storm in the Pacific could strengthen into a powerful typhoon before hitting the Philippine archipelago on Sunday. Usagi was blowing toward southern Taiwan on Friday. There were no immediate reports of casualties from its passage over the Philippines.
