Digest more
A second typhoon in a week is barreling into the Philippines, killing two people, with more than 900,000 residents warned to flee the looming destructive winds and life-threatening storm surges.
Typhoon Fung-wong is heading for the main island of Luzon, causing tens of thousands to be evacuated after another storm killed more than 200 last week.
Typhoon Kalmaegi battered the Philippines, and it's now heading for Vietnam as another potential monster storm grows at sea.
Philippines President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. approved a state of emergency declaration on Thursday as the storm response continued.
Political analysts say persistent natural disasters could sustain public frustrations and anti-government protests.
Aerial footage from the Philippines shows the destruction wrought on homes and streets by Typhoon Kalmaegi. It was one of the strongest typhoons in the Philippines this year. At least 85 people have died in the flooding and another 75 are missing. The floodwaters swept shipping containers through the streets and cars have been left in piles.
