JAKARTA - On the evening of Saturday, November 16, Typhoon Super Man-yi hit the province of the eastern island of Catandunes in the Middle Philippines with wind speeds of up to 195 km/h (125 mph). Not only that, this storm is expected to hit the second land in northern Aurora province and displaced tens of thousands of people.

The Super Man-yi Typhoon has uprooted trees, knocked down power lines, and triggered tidal waves as this storm threatened to hit the second land on the northeastern coast of the Philippines in less than a month.

As of 14.00 (06:00 GMT) on Sunday, Man-yi approached Aurora's northern province with a maximum wind speed of up to 185 km/h (115 mph), according to the PAGASA national weather agency. The gusts slightly decreased from 255 km/h (158 mph) to 230 km/hour (143 mph).

Images posted on social media by various Philippine TV stations on Sunday showed large waves hitting Aurora's coast amid strong winds and heavy rains. PAGASA also continues to warn of a "dangerous and life-threatening" situation as Man-yi gets closer to the mainland.
