The Philippines is reeling after Super Typhoon Man-yi, the unprecedented fourth major typhoon to strike in less than two weeks — and its sixth storm overall in a month — battered the country with devastating force.

As Super Typhoon Man-yi bore down on the Philippines in November 2024, dramatic footage was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed violent winds whipped up by the powerful storm.

Super typhoon Man-Yi swept across the Philippines' main island of Luzon on Sunday, threatening heavy rain in the capital region Metro Manila, after triggering more than a million evacuations and damaging buildings in several areas.
