More than 100,000 evacuated in the Philippines as Fung-wong intensifies into super typhoon

Fung-wong was preparing to hit the Philippines just days after the country was battered by typhoon Kalmaegi which killed 204 people

More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from eastern and northern regions of the Philippines as the latest storm to hit the country – Fung-wong – intensified on Sunday into a super typhoon before its expected arrival later in the day.

Packing sustained winds of 185km/h and gusts of up to 230km/h, the super typhoon is threatening to unleash torrential rain, destructive winds and storm surges.

Storm alert signals have been raised across large parts of the country, with parts of Eastern Visayas already experiencing power outages. More than 300 domestic and international flights have been cancelled, according to the civil aviation regulator.

Some images shared by the Philippine coast guard in Camarines Sur showed evacuees carrying bags and personal belongings as they transferred from long, narrow passenger boats to waiting trucks during preemptive evacuation operations.

In coastal Aurora province, where Fung-wong is expected to land by late Sunday or early Monday morning, rescuers were going door to door encouraging residents to head for higher ground.

Typhoon Fung-wong is expected to deliver about 200mm or more of rain, which can cause widespread flooding, government meteorologist Benison Estareja told reporters on Saturday.
