The Philippines is still dealing with the aftermath of Typhoon Kamagi, which killed at least 220 people when it came ashore less than a week ago.

It then battered Vietnam, killing at least five.

Authorities say Super Typhoon Phuong Wong is stronger, with sustained winds of 115 mph and gusts up to 140.

The country's defense minister is urging more people in the storm's path to evacuate before it's too late.

Hundreds of domestic flights and more than 60 international flights have been canceled into Monday, as government officials warned of a high risk of life-threatening storm surges along the coast of many provinces and regions, including Metro Manila.

Typhoon Kamagi hit the central Philippines the hardest, with the province of Cebu bearing the brunt of the damage.

Receding floodwaters are revealing flattened homes, overturned vehicles, and streets clogged with debris.

It's the 20th storm to hit the Philippines this year, and came roughly a month after a magnitude 6.9 earthquake killed more than 60 in Cebu and displaced thousands more.
