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.

Tropical Storm Sara is unleashing heavy rainfall in northeastern Honduras, with life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides anticipated through the weekend.
Nearly 20 inches of rain had already fallen in parts of Honduras as of Friday morning with more to come.
Earlier forecasts from the National Hurricane Center told residents along the eastern Gulf of Mexico to monitor the storm for its potential to reach the US, but the center now believes the storm might not survive its trek through Central America and Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.
Sara, which formed Thursday afternoon as it closed in on the Honduras-Nicaragua border, is the 18th named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. It's a season that's lived up to initial hyperactive forecasts and hasn't played by the rules.
Tropical activity should be winding down in November, but Sara is now the third named storm this month thanks to exceptionally warm water wrought by climate change.
Extreme floods and mudslides continued Friday as Tropical Storm Sara wrung out a tremendous amount of moisture over northern Honduras.
The storm's very slow track through the western Caribbean will make flash flooding and mudslides a persistent and life-threatening hazard into the weekend.
Looking ahead, it remains uncertain what—if any—impacts the system or its remnants may have on Florida next week.
The overall pattern over the Caribbean has forced Sara to stall-out near the northern coast of Honduras. It's expected to move very little over the next couple of days. While land interaction will keep the storm from taking advantage of warm waters to strengthen, heavy rain is far and away the greatest threat from this system.
Repeated rounds of torrential downpours have washed over the country's mountainous terrain.

Picture shows flash flooding in Albufeira in the Algarve yesterday morning

"It has the potential to cause rapid flooding again, like yesterday [Thursday], but it is not comparable to what happened in Spain. It is a more benign situation, but they are still floods and can have negative impacts, causing some damage", Maria João Frada told Lusa agency.
Therefore, the IPMA issued an orange warning for Beja and Faro until 6pm today, then changing to a yellow warning.
"However, it is likely to return to orange. The depression is practically stationary until Saturday and the wind component is from the southeast in these regions and everything comes from the sea. Extreme wind phenomena may also occur," she said.
According to Maria João Frada, heavy showers are also expected for Setúbal and Lisbon, but with less severity.
"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
