(CNN) -- A massive typhoon made landfall in the east-central Philippines late Saturday, battering the area with heavy rains and winds a year after Super Typhoon Haiyan devastated the region. Typhoon Hagupit, whose name means "lash" in Filipino, came ashore on eastern Samar island just before 10 p.m. (9 a.m. ET) with winds of 205 kph (127 mph) -- the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane.
