Winds, Puts Millions At Risk
The air is shattered by the sound of tearing metal and the fury of the sea. Super Typhoon Uwan, known internationally as Fung-wong, has officially made landfall over Dinalungan, Aurora, striking mainland Luzon with catastrophic force.
This is the most dangerous point of the storm, as the eye—the core of the typhoon—unleashes its peak intensity, bringing winds of up to 185 km/h and gusts soaring to 230 km/h.
The landfall, which occurred at 9:10 PM today, immediately plunged vast areas into an ‘Extreme threat to life and property,’ with communities under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 5 now facing the worst of the typhoon-force winds.
