Super Typhoon Man-yi hits the Philippines with 195 km/h winds

Super Typhoon Man-yi struck the Philippines on November 16, 2024, with winds reaching 195 kilometers per hour. It made landfall on Catanduanes, prompting over 650,000 people to evacuate due to warnings of life-threatening conditions and massive waves. The storm is the sixth major weather event to hit the country in a month, following a series of deadly storms that killed at least 163 people. Authorities have warned of extreme threats to life and property, particularly in the Bicol region. Man-yi is expected to impact Luzon, the most populous island, on Sunday. Evacuations are ongoing, and local officials have imposed curfews and restricted vessel movements to ensure safety as the storm approaches.
