Super Typhoon Man-yi causes damage in the Philippines as evacuations succeed

Super Typhoon Man-yi struck the Philippines on Sunday, causing significant damage by uprooting trees and downing power lines. The storm made landfall on Catanduanes island with winds of 185 kilometers per hour. Over 650,000 people evacuated ahead of the storm. Despite the destruction, no casualties have been reported, likely due to successful evacuation efforts. Clean-up has begun on Catanduanes, where towns experienced damage, particularly in the north. Man-yi is expected to weaken slightly before reaching Luzon later on Sunday. This storm is the sixth to hit the Philippines in a month, following a series of severe weather events that resulted in at least 163 deaths. Man-yi's late-season arrival is unusual, as most storms occur between July and October.
