Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Super Typhoon Man-yi had sustained wind speeds of 160 mph as it made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday. The massive storm has forced over 500,000 people out of their homes in the country's Bicol Region, which constitutes six provinces.

A super typhoon sweeping towards the Philippines on Saturday was intensifying and could have a "potentially catastrophic" impact, the state weather forecaster warned, with millions of people at risk from storm surges.
