Super Typhoon Fung-wong, known locally as Uwan, is the country’s 21st topical cyclone this year. The storm has already killed at least two people and more than a million have been evacuated from its path.

One of the year's most powerful storms in the Philippines, Super Typhoon Fung-wong has killed four people, authorities said on Monday, as they began assessing damage after its fury abated, though no reports of major destruction have flowed in yet.

Super Typhoon Fung-wong, the biggest storm to threaten the Philippines this year, started battering the country’s northeastern coast ahead of landfall on Sunday.

Typhoon Fung-wong triggered floods and landslides, cut power to entire provinces and killed at least two people before barreling out of the Philippines on Monday.

Typhoon Fung-Wong slammed ashore on Aurora province in Luzon, the Philippines most populated island Sunday evening, prompting the evacuation of nearly a million people.

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,
