Super Typhoon Fung-wong Approaches Philippines, Prompting Massive Evacuations
The Philippines is facing an imminent threat as Super Typhoon Fung-wong intensifies, prompting the evacuation of nearly a million people from vulnerable areas. This follows the devastation caused by the previous storm, Kalmaegi, which resulted in over 200 fatalities. Coastal regions, particularly Bicol and Catanduanes, are bracing for impact, with signals raised to warn residents of the severe conditions expected. Authorities are emphasizing the risk of deadly storm surges and urging communities to take immediate action to protect themselves as they prepare for yet another powerful storm.
