School buildings damaged after Typhoon Uwan slams into the Philippines

Buildings in a school compound were damaged on Monday, November 10, as Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) ravaged the northern Philippines overnight, killing at least two people and cutting off some towns.

Eyewitness footage showed roofs blown over and damaged windows in multiple buildings in a school compound in Casiguran, Aurora Province.

More than one million people were evacuated before Uwan made landfall as a super typhoon in the eastern town of Dinalungan in Aurora province on Sunday night. It pounded parts of the country's main island of Luzon with fierce winds, heavy rain and storm swells through the night.

At least two people were killed by the typhoon, according to an early report from the Civil Defense office, with two others injured.
