'''Tropical Storm Rumbia''', known in the Philippines as '''Tropical Storm Toyang''', brought deadly flooding to the central and southern Philippines in late November and early December 2000. The last of three consecutive [[tropical cyclone]]s of at least [[tropical storm]] intensity to strike the Philippines, Rumbia began as a [[tropical depression]] on November 27, gradually intensifying to reach tropical storm intensity the next day. Strengthening later stagnated, and Rumbia would weaken back to depression status as it made [[landfall (meteorology)|landfall]] on the central Philippines on December 1. Though the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] (JMA) determined Rumbia to have dissipated on December 2, the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] (JTWC) continued to monitor the system over the next few days as it tracked across the [[South China Sea]]. For a period of time beginning on December 5, Rumbia reorganized and strengthened back to tropical storm intensity before wind shear began to weaken the system. Located south of [[Vietnam]] on December 7, the storm's circulation center became devoid of [[convection (meteorology)|convection]], and by then Rumbia was declared by the JTWC to have dissipated.

In the Philippines, Rumbia caused roughly US$1 million in damage and 48 fatalities.{{#tag:ref|All monetary values are in their respective currency's worth in 2000.|group=nb}} Several transportation routes were suspended in the lead-up to the storm's landfall. As a result of the tropical storm, [[power outage]]s occurred, especially in [[Surigao City|Surigao]]. Several towns and villages were flooded, displacing around 70,000 people and putting 4,100 people into temporary emergency sheltering.
