Super Typhoon Man-Yi makes landfall in the Philippines as sixth storm in a month

Super Typhoon Man-Yi, the sixth typhoon to hit the Philippines in a month, made landfall on Catanduanes island with winds of 195 km/h. Evacuations have affected at least 500,000 people as authorities warn of life-threatening conditions. Heavy rains and winds are expected to cause flooding and mudslides, particularly in northern areas. The storm is projected to move northward, potentially sparing Manila from the worst impacts. This unusual series of storms has already resulted in at least 160 deaths from previous typhoons. The Philippines has experienced significant rainfall and damage from storms in recent weeks, raising concerns about the saturated ground.
