Super Typhoon Man-Yi hit Luzon, forcing over a million evacuations and causing damage. The storm is weakening as it moves through the region.
Super Typhoon Man-Yi swept across Luzon, the Philippines’ largest island, on Sunday, bringing heavy rain to Metro Manila and prompting over a million evacuations. The storm caused structural damage in several areas but no reported casualties.
Packing winds of 185 kph (115 mph), the typhoon weakened slightly after making landfall in Panganiban, Catanduanes province, on Saturday night. By Sunday morning, it had moved over the coastal waters of Camarines Norte, according to weather officials.
Amalia Santisas, one of many evacuees in coastal Manila, described leaving her home due to the rising river levels during typhoons. “We have children with us, and we are scared,” she said.
Despite the large-scale evacuations, civil defense chief Ariel Nepomuceno confirmed that no casualties had been reported. However, strong winds damaged homes, schools, and commercial buildings in Catanduanes.
The sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in a month, Man-Yi is now heading toward southern and central Luzon. The state weather agency PAGASA, using the storm’s local name “Pepito,” expects the typhoon to weaken before a second landfall but urges continued caution.
A top-level storm alert remains in effect for parts of the Polillo and Calaguas islands. In Catanduanes, provincial disaster officer Roberto Monterola reported easing rains and winds in Virac, allowing some evacuees to return home.
