In the Philippines, landslides buried two families today who took shelter in their homes to escape Asia's latest deadly typhoon Parma , which killed at least 16 people and left more than a dozen villages flooded . Typhoon Parma cut a destructive path across the northern Philippines but spared the capital, Manila. It headed toward Taiwan this afternoon. The storm's fringes has already begun striking repeatedly in eastern and southern Taiwan with heavy rain where troops are evacuating villages in its path. <br/><br/>Parma hit just eight days after an earlier storm left Manila awash in the worst flooding in four decades, killing almost 300 people. Yesterday's storm dropped more rain on the capital that slowed the cleanup and made conditions more miserable. Another typhoon, Melor, is churning in the Philippine Sea, 1,600 miles to the east.<br/>
