A powerful typhoon has wrecked houses, caused towering tidal surges and forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee to emergency shelters as it barreled across the northern Philippines in the sixth major storm to pound the Southeast Asian country in less than a month.

An aerial view shows submerged homes at a village in Ilagan, Isabela province, on November 18, 2024, due to continuous heavy rains from Super Typhoon Pepito. Floodwaters submerged houses and highways in the northern Philippines on November 18 after water released from a dam following Typhoon Pepito caused a major river to break its banks.

Typhoon Man-yi has left at least seven people dead in a landslide, destroyed houses and displaced large numbers of villagers before blowing away from the northern Philippines.
