Officials in the Philippines have shut schools, canceled inter-island ferry service and ordered the evacuation of more than 100,000 people as a fast-moving typhoon approaches the country's east coast.

Forecasters say Typhoon Nesat will make landfall on the east coast of Luzon Tuesday and cross the island north of Manila with heavy downpours and winds of up to 215 kilometers per hour.

Disaster officials say Nesat could produce rainfall at 25 millimeters an hour, causing flash floods, landslides and storm surges in coastal areas.

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimates Nesat will take 12 hours to cross the island of Luzon before it moves into the South China Sea.
