Entire villages lay submerged and scores of towns remained without electricity on Monday as Typhoon Fung Wong left the Philippines after killing at least five people and displacing more than a million.

MANILA: A weakening Typhoon Fung-wong departed the Philippines over the South China Sea on Monday morning (Nov 10), after its driving winds and heavy rain killed at least two people and forced more than a million to evacuate.

Fung-wong arrived mere days after Typhoon Kalmaegi tore through the Philippines’ central provinces and killed at least 224 people. Kalmaegi then struck Vietnam’s central and highland regions, leading to the deaths of at least five people.

Typhoon Fung-Wong slammed ashore on Aurora province in Luzon, the Philippines most populated island Sunday evening, prompting the evacuation of nearly a million people.

After super typhoon Uwan, Filipinos are worried about the possibility of a tsunami after a magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Japan.

“While Typhoon Uwan has exited our landmass, it will continue to bring rains to Luzon, and our operations to help local government units and their constituents continue,” he said, adding that there was “still danger” in certain areas.

Super Typhoon Fung-Wong made landfall in the Philippines’ Luzon island on Sunday, killing two people and forcing over a million to evacuate amid powerful winds and torrential rain.
