More than 400,000 people in the Philippines were forced to flee their homes as powerful typhoon Man-yi slammed into the eastern island province of Catanduanes wrecking houses and causing towering tidal surges.
The storm made landfall on Saturday night with sustained winds of up to 125mph and gusts of up to 149mph. The country's weather agency had warned of a "potentially catastrophic and life-threatening situation" in provinces along its path.
