cnn.com —
Super Typhoon Man-yi made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday, prompting the evacuation of over 500,000 people, primarily from the Bicol region. Winds reached 160 mph, classifying it as a Category 5 hurricane. The storm intensified rapidly, increasing by 55 mph in just 24 hours. Signal 5 warnings, the highest level, have been issued for Catanduanes, where local officials are seeking assistance for recovery efforts post-typhoon. Man-yi is the fourth typhoon to hit the Philippines in less than two weeks, affecting a larger population due to its southern path. It is expected to cause severe flooding, landslides, and widespread power outages as it moves toward Manila.
