More than 650,000 people fled their homes ahead of Man-yi as the national weather service warned of a"potentially catastrophic and life-threatening" impact from the storm. Severe flooding and landslides were expected as Man-yi dumped"intense to torrential" rain over provinces in its path, with more than 200 millimetres forecast in the next 24 hours, the weather service said.Photos shared on the Facebook page of Mayor Cesar Robles showed toppled power lines, damaged houses, and trees and corrugated iron sheets strewn on the roads.
Climate change is increasing the intensity of storms, leading to heavier rains, flash floods and stronger gusts. "Not too many trees fell and the roads are otherwise clear. I did not see any damage among the houses here," Tancino told AFP.The weather forecaster has hoisted its second-highest typhoon signal over several provinces along Luzon island's east coast where Man-yi is expected to make its second landfall.
