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.

Manila, Philippines — Typhoon Man-yi left at least seven people dead in a landslide, destroyed houses and displaced large numbers of villagers before blowing away from the northern Philippines, worsening the crisis wreaked by multiple back-to-back storms, officials said Monday.

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