More than a million evacuees displaced by the typhoon in the Philippines

A weak typhoon Fung-wong is currently passing through the South China Sea and is expected to head towards Taiwan, after leaving two people in the Philippines.

About 1.4 million people in the Philippines were traded before it turned into a super typhoon on Sunday, packing winds of 185km/H (115mph).

It identified the province of Aurora in Luzon – the country’s most populous – at 21:10 Local Time (13:10 GMT) and weakened for an hour.

The deaths come days after earlier Storm Kalmaegi left nearly 200 people dead. Authorities in the Philippines are reporting less severe damage than expected – though many communities have been cut off by floods.

In the morning, the wind from the storm that had subsided overnight died, and people came out to see the damage.

There was extensive damage to buildings, but good preparation appears to have prevented a repeat of the casualties seen after hitting Central Philippines last week.

The country’s meteorological service previously warned of damaging winds and “high risk of life-threatening” Storm Surges from “severe storms.

Hundreds of flights were canceled, buildings were secured and residents of low-income and coastal areas were urged to move to higher ground.

At a shelter in Central Aurora, parents bring children, too young to remember Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,000 people when it hit the Philippines in 2013.

“We feel very worried because of the strength of the storm, and we have children’s minds to think about,” Jesse Zurbano previously told the BBC.

Another evacuee Patry Azul said: “Our house is made of wood and flimsy materials. We live near the sea so we don’t feel safe.”

The winds carried by the wind are not as strong as some hurricanes, and its destructive power is quickly weakened after it makes landfall.

Two deaths were reported, according to the civil defense office: A man drowned, while a woman was found dead under the garbage in Catbalogan City. Two others were injured.

However, many neighborhoods were flooded, and some have already recovered from the rest of the country after roads and bridges were cut by high water levels.

Aurora officials told local media on Monday that the four towns were on lockdown.

Power is down in most of the main island of Luzon.

The Philippine government has declared a state of emergency across the country in preparation for typhoon Fung-wong and the end of Kalmaegi.

It gives government agencies more power to access emergency funds and fast-track deliveries of essential goods and services.

Kalmaegi, one of the strongest typhoons this year, left at least 204 people dead in the Philippines, while more than 100 are missing.

Five people were also killed in Vietnam, where strong winds toppled trees, ripped off roofs, and smashed large windows.

The Philippines – located near the area where tropical Pacific weather systems form.

Nearly 20 tropical cyclones form in that region every year, half of which are directly in the country.

Climate change is not thought to increase the number of hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones around the world.

However, warmer oceans combined with a warmer environment – fueled by climate change – have the potential to make things worse. That could bring higher wind speeds, heavier rain, and a greater risk of coastal flooding.
