Powerful Typhoon Man-yi hit Luzon on Sunday morning.\u00a0 At 4:00 a.m. EST on Sunday the center of Typhoon Man-yi was located at latitude 16.2\u00b0N and longitude 121.3\u00b0E which put the center about 25 miles (40 km) north of Baler, Philippines.\u00a0 Man-yi was moving toward the northwest at 15 m.p.h. (24 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 150 m.p.h. (240 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 185 m.p.h. (295 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 933 mb.<\/p>\n
The center of Typhoon Man-yi made landfall on the east coast of Luzon near Baler on Sunday morning.\u00a0 Man-yi was the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale at the time of landfall.\u00a0 A circular eye with a diameter of 17 miles (28 km) was at the center of Typhoon Man-yi.\u00a0 The eye was surrounded by a ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Man-yi’s circulation.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Typhoon Man-yi was very symmetrical.\u00a0 Winds to typhoon force extended out 40 miles (65 km) from the center of Man-yi\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 130 miles (210 km) from the center of Typhoon Man-yi.<\/p>\n
The Hurricane Intensity Index (HII) for Typhoon Man-yi was 31.6.\u00a0 The Hurricane Size Index (HSI) was 16.0 and the Hurricane Wind Intensity Size Index (HWISI) was 47.6. Typhoon Man-yi was similar in size and intensity to Hurricane Laura when Laura hit Southwest Louisiana in 2020.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Man-yi will move around the southern side of a high pressure system over the Western North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Man-yi toward the northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Typhoon Man-yi will move across Luzon during the rest of today.<\/p>\n
Typhoon Man-yi will also bring very strong winds and heavy rain to Luzon. Heavy rain will cause flash floods and mudslides.\u00a0 Man-yi could also cause a storm surge of up to 13 feet (4 meters) along the coast of Luzon.\u00a0 Luzon has already been hit by a series of in recent weeks. Typhoon Man-yi is capable of causing regional severe damage.\u00a0 Man-yi will seriously set back efforts to recover from the previous typhoons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
