The Philippines is the fifth typhoon to strike the nation in a month, making it the site of a potentially fatal super typhoon.
Man-Yi, known locally as Pepito, touched down at 21: 40 local time ( 13: 40 GMT ) with maximum wind speeds of 195 km/h ( 121mph ) along the coast of the eastern Catanduanes island, the state forecaster said.
It has warned of a “life-threatening wind surge”, heavy rains and extreme gusts, and hundreds of thousands of people had been evacuated ahead of the storm’s appearance,
In the five preceding winds, at least 160 people have died, according to reports.
Super Typhoon Man-Yi is expected to affect a large place, BBC Weather information.
More than 300mm ( 11 inches ) of rain are forecast for northern areas on Saturday and Sunday, which will increase the risk of mudslides and cause widespread flooding.
Winds of up to 270km/h are also expected, as are waves of up to 15m ( 49ft ) in eastern coastal areas.
As the storm travels northward, passing through the island of Luzon before heading abroad by Monday, Manila, the capital may not experience the worst breezes.
Local radio ABS-CBN News reports that dozens of flights have been canceled as a result of the approaching surprise.
At least 500, 000 persons are reported to have fled as the wind nears. The mind of the government’s legal army, Ariel Nepomuceno, has urged those living in the storm’s projected journey to cooperate with evacuation orders.
Because of the repeated storms, Mr. Nepomuceno said,” the surface has been saturated, making it more dangerous for those in landslide-prone places.”
Among those who had to leave their homes is Glenda Llamas.
She told the AFP information firm from a house in eastern Albay state,” We are terrified of the tornado because it may intensify and the lakes may fall.”
” If we did n’t evacuate we would n’t be able to get out later, we do n’t have anyone else in the house but us”.
” We now have a lot of phobia due to the previous tragedies that happened here like storms, powerful winds and other tragedies”, said Melchor Bilay, who was evacuated to a school farther north, in Sorsogon province.
EPAExperts say it’s strange to experience multiple tropical storms in the Pacific at once during the month of November, despite the fact that typhoons are not common in the Philippines.
In late October, Tropical Storm Trami deposited one week’s worth of weather over large areas of the north Philippines, killing dozens of people.
This was followed by Typhoon Kong-rey, in which at least three people were killed. It was also the biggest typhoon to directly hit Taiwan in nearly 30 years.
The north of the island of Luzon was affected by Typhoon Yinxing earlier this month, when it nearly 250mm ( 10in ) of rain fell in some places.
There has since been Typhoon Toraji and, earlier this week, Typhoon Usagi, which brought a three-metre storm surge and torrential rainfall exceeding 200mm ( 8 inches ).
The IPCC, the UN’s agency for climate change, has stated that while a warning planet is unlikely to cause an increase in the number of tropical cyclones to occur internationally, it is “very good” that they will experience higher rates of rainfall and best wind speeds.
A higher percentage would then be able to fit into the most powerful groups.
