During last weekend‚ super-typhoon Man-yi crashed into Philippines eastern regions with un-precedented force (making it the sixth big storm to hit the country in about a month)
The mega-storm first touched Catanduanes island province late saturday: bringing winds that reached 195 kilometers per-hour with even stronger gusts reaching 240 kph. These fast-moving air masses created huge ocean surges that threatened coastal areas
