Authorities in the Philippines on Thursday ordered evacuations in northeastern towns ahead of the arrival of Super Typhoon Usagi, as the storm-ravaged nation prepares for its fifth typhoon in a month and braces for a sixth later in the week.

Typhoon Usagi weakened after impacting northern Philippines, destroying homes as its weakened state moves towards Taiwan. The Philippines is preparing for another storm, Typhoon Man-yi, potentially becoming a super typhoon over the weekend.
