A strong typhoon has hit the northern Philippines, prompting a new round of evacuations in a region still recovering from back-to-back storms a few weeks ago.

The typhoon, locally called Marce, was last tracked over the South China Sea about 62 miles west of the northern Philippine province of Ilocos Norte with sustained winds of up to 93 miles per hour and gusts of up to 127 mph, according to government forecasters. It is expected to weaken further before hitting Vietnam.
