Greece is experiencing another round of severe storms and widespread flooding after intense, torrential rain hit several regions on Sunday. The deluge transformed streets into fast-moving rivers, causing damage to homes and vehicles across the country.

The Ionian coast and Epirus were the most affected areas, with particularly heavy rainfall reported in Preveza, Corfu, and Filippiada. Residents in these locations dealt with prolonged thunder and lightning, which resulted in submerged roads and necessitated significant response efforts from local authorities.

Key incidents and damage

Preveza: The city's drainage systems were overwhelmed, leading to rapid street flooding. The Fire Service responded to numerous calls, mainly to pump water from basements. Emergency crews also removed fallen trees, and heavy machinery was used in Filippiada to reopen the main road, which had become impassable.

More than a million people had been evacuated and at least one person killed as floodwaters rose in the Philippines before Typhoon Fung-wong's expected landfall on the east coast.

The super-typhoon is expected to bring wind and heavy rain to large parts of the archipelago nation where last week more than 220 people were killed by Typhoon Kalmaegi.

One death from Typhoon Fung-wong was recorded on Sunday. Juniel Tagarino, a rescuer in Catbalogan City, said the body of a 64-year-old woman attempting to evacuate had been pulled from under debris and fallen trees.

"Last night, the wind was so strong and the rain was heavy ... According to her family members, she might have forgotten something and went back inside her house," Tagarino said, adding that her relatives were just 50 metres away when they realised she was missing.

In Aurora province, where the eye of the storm is expected to make landfall, Aries Ora, 34, a government worker, said the rain was still light as he boarded up his home in the town of Dipaculao with steel sheets and wooden boards.


Comment: Update November 10

CBS News reports:
Typhoon Fung-wong blew out of the northwestern Philippines on Monday after setting off floods and landslides, knocking out power to entire provinces, killing at least six people and displacing more than 1.4 million others.

Fung-wong lashed the northern Philippines while the country was still dealing with the devastation wrought by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 224 people dead in central provinces on Tuesday before pummeling Vietnam, where at least five were killed.

Fung-wong is on a more northerly path, forecast to head next toward Taiwan.

Fung-wong slammed ashore in the Philippines northeastern Aurora province on Sunday night as a super typhoon with sustained winds of up to 115 mph and gusts of up to 143 mph.

A rare and powerful tornado tore through Rio Bonito do Iguacu, killing at least six and injuring more than 600 as residents and officials confront widespread destruction and ongoing search efforts.

On the evening of November 7, 2025, the quiet town of Rio Bonito do Iguacu in Brazil's southern Parana state was transformed in a matter of minutes. What began as a routine Friday quickly spiraled into chaos as a tornado—one of the most powerful in recent memory—tore through the municipality, leaving death and destruction in its wake. By the time the winds finally subsided, the town, home to about 14,000 people, was left reeling from devastation that local officials and residents alike described as nothing short of a "war zone."

According to Parana's civil defense and multiple news outlets, at least six people were killed and more than 600 injured in the disaster. As rescue teams scoured the ruins for survivors and the missing, the number of casualties remained fluid. Two people were still unaccounted for the following day, and authorities warned that the toll could rise as the search continued. Local fire chief Jonas Emmanuel Benghi Pinto cautioned, "The number of victims could increase overnight as the search operation continues."
