Man-yi floods thousands of Philippine homesWORST IS OVER? Typhoon Man-yi drenched swaths of the Philippines over the weekend, swelling the Cagayan river and tributaries, and forcing the release of water from Magat Dam. The Cagayan broke its banks, spilling water over already sodden farmland and communities, affecting tens of thousands of people. An aerial view shows flooding from a river overflow caused by heavy rains and induced by Typhoon Man-yi in Tuguegarao City, Philippines, on Monday. Man-yi dumped heavy rain, smashed flimsy buildings, knocked out power and claimed at least eight lives.
