PHOTOS: Typhoon Ruby Brings Destruction to Many Parts of Visayas and Southern Luzon

Typhoon Ruby began as a strong storm, first believed to be stronger or similar to last year’s supertyphoon Yolanda but has proved to be weaker though it moves a lot slower and brings along heavy to torrential rains.

Thus, despite being weaker than Yolanda, Ruby was able to bring significant damage to many areas its 700-km diameter hit.

The typhoon is also expected to make 6 landfalls and is now being dubbed as the longest staying storm as it continues to move at a speed of around 15 km/h.

The typhoon has caused significant destruction in many areas, as can be seen in the photos shared by netizens across various social media:
