<div><strong>Typhoon Lupit a potential major catastrophe for the Philippines</strong></div>
<div><strong><br></strong>Category 4 <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/wp200922_5day.htm" target="_blank">Super Typhoon Lupit</a> is stalled out over the Philippine Sea east of northern Luzon Island in the Philippines, but is expected to resume a westerly track towards the Philippines on Monday. Depending upon whether the storm makes landfall in northern Luzon or not, Lupit (the Filipino word for cruel) has the potential to live up to its name if it makes landfall as a major typhoon on Thursday, as currently forecast. A week ago, <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Parma_%282009%29" target="_blank">Super Typhoon Parma</a> crossed over the northern Philippines three times, dumping over twenty inches of rain in many locations. Over 300 people died in the resulting flash floods and landslides. A visit by Typhoon Lupit would bring another 12+ inches of rain to the already-soaked soils of the region, creating a major catastrophe. However, there is hope that storm's current slow and erratic movement will carry Lupit far enough north that the typhoon will miss the Philippines.<br>
