Super Typhoon Man-yi has uprooted trees, bringing down power lines and triggering tidal surges as it made its second landfall on the northeastern Philippine coast - the sixth major storm to hit the country in less than a month.
As of 3:20 pm (07:20 GMT) on Sunday, Man-yi made its second landfall in the northern province of Aurora.
Ahead of the the landfall, it had maximum sustained winds of up to 185km/h (115mph), according to the national weather agency PAGASA. Its gustiness meanwhile picked up strength from 230km/h (143mph) to 305 km/h (189.5mph) late Sunday afternoon.
Images posted on social media by various Philippine TV outlets on Sunday showed large waves lashing the coast of Aurora amid howling winds and heavy rain. PAGASA also continued to warn of a "potentially dangerous and life-threatening" situation as Man-yi moves closer to land.
Man-yi is the 16th typhoon to hit the Philippines in 2024.
Typhoon Man-yi has left at least seven people dead in a landslide, destroyed scores of houses and displaced large numbers of villagers before blowing away from the northern Philippines, worsening the crisis wreaked by multiple back-to-back storms.
If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.
There are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition to include only those who in their search for money and power are ruthless and deceitful.
- Henry A. Wallace, 33rd Vice-President of the United States of America, 1940-1944
