Residents wade through a flooded street in Dagupan City, in the northern Philippine province of Pangasinan on October 10, 2009. Floodwaters from Tropical Storm Parma have receded in much of the northern Philippines but the toll rose to 299 confirmed dead in landslides and flooding, officials said. This brings the death toll from two weeks of killer storms to at least 636 Tith about 301,000 still crammed into makeshift evacuation centers since Tropical Storm Ketsana struck two weeks ago, the civil defense office said.
