Super typhoon Fung-wong has blown through the Philippines, leaving at least two dead, 1.4 million people evacuated and widespread damage in its wake.
More than 1.4 million people were evacuated across the country as the storm triggered flash flooding, storm surges, landslides and gale-force winds, Philippine authorities said on Monday.
The biggest typhoon to threaten the Philippines in years, Fung-wong was forecast to cover two-thirds of the archipelago with its 1,800-kilometre (1,118-mile) -wide rain and wind band.
In Pandan, Catanduanes, one of the worst-affected areas, footage and photos from disaster response authorities showed flood waters rising to the rooftops and houses being washed away. At least one person was killed in flash flooding as civil defence workers rescued more than a dozen others.
