Storm chaser Josh Morgerman lands in Philippines to ‘hunt’ Super Typhoon Uwan
Renowned storm chasers Josh Morgerman and James Reynolds have arrived in the Philippines to monitor Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung Wong).
Josh Morgerman is currently in Baler, Aurora, after recently covering Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, and he described Super Typhoon Uwan as a potential "real beast."
James Reynolds of Earth Uncut TV is also in Baler, providing updates and noting that while landfall was expected near Baler around 8 p.m., dangerous conditions would extend far beyond the storm's center due to its large size.
Super Typhoon Uwan has intensified, prompting PAGASA to raise Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 5 over several areas, including Polillo Islands and parts of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur, as well as Catanduanes.
