Tens of thousands evacuated as Super Typhoon Man-yi approaches the Philippines
Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Man-yi approaches. Packing winds of 185 kph, the storm is expected to hit the island province of Catanduanes this weekend, prompting the government to raise alerts. Nearly 180,000 residents in the central Bicol region have been moved to safety. Dozens of flights in the eastern Visayas region have been canceled due to the storm's impact. Authorities warn of dangerous storm surges and potential catastrophic conditions. Man-yi, also known as Pepito, is the sixth typhoon to hit the Philippines this year. While it may weaken over land, it is expected to remain a typhoon as it moves toward the South China Sea.
