Super Typhoon Fung-wong slammed into the northern Philippines on Sunday, leaving at least two dead and triggering mass evacuations as winds roared at 185 kph (115 mph)—stronger than a Formula 1 race car! 💨 Over 1 million residents fled their homes ahead of what officials called one of the year's most dangerous storms.
Impact and Evacuation
Authorities cut power preemptively in the Bicol region to reduce risks, but the storm still caused widespread damage as it barreled across Luzon. Gusts hit 230 kph (143 mph), tearing roofs off buildings and uprooting trees. Rescue teams are now scrambling to reach isolated areas.
What’s Next?
Fung-wong is expected to exit the island by Monday, but heavy rains and flooding risks remain. 🌧️ 'We’re prioritizing safety for all,' a local official said, urging residents to stay alert. Climate experts note this storm adds to a growing list of extreme weather events linked to warmer ocean temperatures.
Stay tuned for updates as the Philippines braces for more challenges in Fung-wong’s wake.
