Philippines evacuates 255,000 as Super Typhoon Man-yi approaches

Super Typhoon Man-yi is approaching the Philippines, prompting the evacuation of about 255,000 people. It is expected to make landfall late Saturday or early Sunday, bringing winds of up to 230 kilometers per hour. This storm marks the sixth major storm to hit the country in just one month. The Philippines has not experienced four simultaneous storms in the western Pacific since records began in 1951. Authorities warn of severe impacts, including life-threatening storm surges and heavy rain that could trigger volcanic mudflows. The recent storms have already caused at least 163 deaths and significant damage to infrastructure and agriculture.
