Typhoon Fung-wong Leaves Trail of Destruction, Displacing Over 1.4 Million in the Philippines
10 Nov
Summary
- Typhoon Fung-wong kills at least 6 people in the Philippines
- Over 1.4 million people displaced by the storm
- Typhoon Fung-wong follows on the heels of Typhoon Kalmaegi
On November 10, 2025, Typhoon Fung-wong slammed into the Philippines, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The powerful storm, which made landfall as a super typhoon with sustained winds of up to 115 mph and gusts of up to 143 mph, has claimed at least 6 lives and displaced more than 1.4 million people.
The typhoon struck the northern provinces of the Philippines, knocking out power to entire regions and triggering floods and landslides that damaged over 1,000 homes. Authorities have reported that one person drowned in flash floods, another died when their house collapsed, and three children were killed in separate landslides. The government has mobilized rescue and relief efforts, with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declaring a state of emergency.
The devastation comes just weeks after the Philippines was hit by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 224 people dead in the central provinces before moving on to Vietnam. Fung-wong is now on a northerly path, forecast to head towards Taiwan, as the country continues to grapple with the aftermath of these back-to-back extreme weather events.
