Gov't on full alert as Uwan barrels toward Luzon
THE government placed the entire Northern and Central Luzon on full alert on Saturday as Typhoon Uwan (international name Fung-wong) was expected to intensify into a super typhoon, barreled toward the Philippines.
A weakened Typhoon Fung-wong is now passing over the South China Sea and expected to head to Taiwan, after leaving two people dead in the Philippines. Some 1.4 million in the Philippines had been preemptively evacuated before Fung-wong made landfall on Sunday as a super typhoon, carrying winds of 185km/h (115mph) and gusts of 230km/h (143mph).
Taiwan is bracing for tropical storm Fung-wong to make landfall just days after it slammed into the Philippines as a super typhoon, displacing more than 1.4 million people. The Philippines is still dealing with the damage from Typhoon Kalmaegi,
