By Sunday, Man-Yi will develop into a Super Typhoon, unleashing category 4 storm-strength winds, torrential rainfall, and unprecedented flooding

Severe Tropical Storm Man-yi, known as Pepito in the Philippines, will strengthen into a typhoon with the strength of Category 4 Saffir-Simpson storm before hitting the island nation on Sunday, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

A super typhoon ripped through the Philippines’ largest island on Sunday, knocking down houses and sending more than half a million people to emergency shelters, as rare back-to-back storms cause havoc across an exhausted nation.

Super Typhoon Man-yi made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday, bringing destructive winds and torrential rain to a nation still recovering from a series of powerful storms that have killed more than 160 people and caused widespread damage.
