Monday ET), the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Center reported.

The tightly packed but powerful storm threatened to bring devastating flash floods and landslides. High winds could blast some homes into sticks, uproot trees and cut power for days, government officials warned.

The storm weakened slightly as it moved west across Mindanao during the course of the morning, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The storm, dubbed "Pablo" in the Philippines,replica ladies tank watches, had blown up into a super typhoon at one point Monday, with sustained winds greater than 240 kph the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported.

That wind speed is two and a half times the top winds of Severe Tropical Storm Washi, known in the Philippines as Sendong, whose heavy rains set off landslides that swept away entire villages in the same region a year ago.

"Many emotional people in (Mindanao) trying to prepare for Pablo with Sendong fresh in their minds," Carin van der Hor, the Philippines director for the children's charity Plan , wrote Monday on Twitter.

In the fishing village of Hinatuan, officials had warned coastal and island residents to evacuate to government shelters in the final hours before the storm hit, CNN affiliate ABS CBN reported.

School classes were suspended in many cities, and at least 80 flights were canceled, according to the disaster agency.

More than 1,200 people died and hundreds of thousands were left homeless, prompting a humanitarian crisis.

Stormy weather in recent months also has caused death and destruction in other areas of the Philippines, where poor infrastructure leaves many communities highly vulnerable.

Severe flooding in the region of the capital, Manila, killed more than 80 people in August. And Tropical Cyclone Son Tinh left at least 27 people dead after sweeping across the central Philippines in October.
