Typhoon Uwan exits

MANILA, Philippines — A weakening Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) departed the Philippines over the South China Sea on Monday morning, after its driving winds and heavy rain killed at least two people and forced more than a million to evacuate.

“Uwan,” with a footprint that spanned nearly the entirety of the archipelago, slammed into the country's eastern seaboard Sunday evening as a 'super typhoon' after uprooting trees and swamping towns further south.
