Super Typhoon Man-yi in the Philippines
Super Typhoon Man-yi ( known locally as Pepito) hit the Philippines on 16 November, with waves up to 14 metres (46 feet) high battering the coastline of Catanduanes Island. The typhoon brought maximum wind speeds of 195 kilometers (121 miles) per hour as it impacted the sparsely populated island.
Man-yi triggered a mass evacuation, with more than 650,000 people fleeing their homes before it made landfall. Many sought refuge in schools, malls, and evacuation centers. Some took shelter in school classrooms, which were hot and cramped but safe. Around 400 people were squeezed into the provincial government building in the capital, Virac, with new arrivals being sent to a gymnasium.
Catanduanes Island was left without power after the storm knocked down trees and electricity posts. Other damages included homes with roofs blown off, a small kiosk shop was completely lifted off its foundation.
Typhoon Man-yi then swept across Luzon, the Philippines' main island, on Sunday, 17 November 2024, bringing heavy rainfall to the capital region, Metro Manila.
At least 163 people have died in the five storms that hit the Philippines in recent weeks, leaving thousands homeless and wiping out crops and livestock.
