Man-yi was a typhoon in the Philippine Sea early Saturday Philippine Time, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said in its latest advisory. The typhoon had sustained wind speeds of 127 miles per hour, which would make it a Category 3 hurricane if it were in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Philippines evacuated tens of thousands of people from their homes and cancelled dozens of flights on Saturday, as a super typhoon threatened to unleash heavy rains and powerful winds that could trigger floods and storm surges.
