Super Typhoon Fung-wong slammed into the Philippines' eastern seaboard yesterday, the national weather service said, after killing at least two people and forcing more than a million to evacuate. The storm, with a radius spanning nearly the whole of the Philippines, made landfall in Aurora province on the main island of Luzon at 9:10pm (1310 GMT), the state forecaster reported. Fung-wong is expected to bring wind and heavy rain to swathes of the archipelago nation, which just last week saw more than 220 people killed by Typhoon Kalmaegi. Earlier yesterday, one of the already storm-stricken provinces in the central Philippines recorded the first known death from the new typhoon.
