The Philippines has evacuated nearly 180,000 people as super typhoon Man-Yi approaches. The storm, with winds of 185 kph, is expected to make landfall near Catanduanes on Saturday night or early Sunday. Dozens of flights have been canceled, and the weather agency has raised alerts for affected provinces. Dangerous storm surges exceeding 3 meters are also predicted for coastal areas of Luzon. Man-Yi is the sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in a month. The country typically experiences about 20 tropical storms each year, which can cause severe flooding and landslides.
