Death Toll Climbs to at Least 436 - Time.com
Pounding rain from a tropical storm swelled rivers and sent walls of water crushing into two southern Philippine cities in the thick of night, killing at least 436 people, many caught in their beds, officials said Saturday.
Philippine Red Cross Secretary General Gwen Pang told The Associated Press that the latest toll was based on a body count in funeral parlors. She said that 215 died in Cagayan de Oro and 144 in nearby Iligan, and the rest in several other southern and central provinces.

Breaking News of the Day: Kim Jong-il, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, passed away yesterday of exhaustion, according to local media reports. He was 69.
A North Korean state media announcement said the dictator died of “physical fatigue” during a train ride.
Kim was known to have been sick for some time, reportedly suffering two strokes which affected his mobility and speech. He was also said to have been suffering from pancreatic cancer.
The so-called “Dear Leader” officially took over the role three years after the passing of his father, Kim Il-sung, in 1994.
No word yet on who might succeed him, though his son, Jong Un, was reportedly being groomed for the position. Other reports suggest his brother-in-law, Chang Sung-taek, may already be the de facto leader.
The South Korean military has been put on high alert following news of Kim Jong-il’s passing.
