( 0 / 0 )Typhoon Lupit (Ramil) has slowed down its move to WSW (West to Southwest).
While the typhoon still moves towards the Philippines, several agencies predict a loop back, going first north and then north-east. This possible behavior remembers Parma (Pepeng) 2 weeks ago. This storm also slowed down and stayed during days over North Luzon, moving even back on its incoming track.
Typhoon Lupit (Ramil) is now a typhoon of Category 2 with the following characteristics:
Maximum sustained windspeed: 150 km/h (80 kts) near the center

( 2.4 / 5 )Over the weekend, government disaster-response agencies began coordinating to prepare for the onslaught of super typhoon Lupit (Ramil). Various line agencies prepared to set up evacuation centers, assign health personnel on 24/7 duty, and move packed goods to northern Luzon, where the storm is expected to make landfall.
DOH on blue code alert:
Government hospitals in most parts of Luzon went on blue alert Sunday in preparation for super typhoon Lupit (Ramil), which is expected to hit the country Wednesday or Thursday.
The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) said the Department of Health (DOH) sent alert memos to six Luzon regions the typhoon threatens to hit directly.
DOH maintained blue alert code with manpower on duty; pre-positioned medicines and medical supplies.
Covered by the DOH alert memos are Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Metro Manila and Cordillera.
NAVY on red alert:
The Philippine Navy said Sunday it has put its forces in Northern, Central and Southern Luzon on red alert status.
Awaiting super typhoon Lupit (Ramil), the Navy is preparing their equipment and vehicles, including choppers, Islander planes, 18 M-35 trucks, 18 rubber boats, and amphibious vehicles and trucks.
But Navy admitted that their personnel have been strained and their resources are getting thin after the efforts they exerted in the last two cyclones.
PAGASA has not yet raised any storm signal:
PAGASA expects that rains may start falling over the eastern part of Northern Luzon Tuesday.
We keep on tracking the storm. Next update around 05:00pm this afternoon.
