I thought it was time to update Typhoon Hagupit. It will get a different name in the Philippines but is not yet in the Philippines Area of Responsibility (PAR) so it hasn't been named AS FAR AS I KNOW, Right now, it is a Category 4 storm. Not a Super Typhoon. The rumors are already flying all over the place about this storm. It is EXPECTED but Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) to decrease in intensity to a cat 3 in 96 hours and to a cat 2 in 120 hours. It's landfall keeps changing but then TSR never said where it would hit. It is too far out. It trajectory has moved much further north than it was just a few hours ago. It also increased from a cat 2 to a cat 4. I wouldn't count on this decreasing as much as TSR is predicting. The last few storms were all predicted to get weaker but they just go stronger as they neared the Philippines. The Philippines gets hit by about 20 typhoons per year. I get people from Florida that think they see a lot of typhoons, you don't. :) Just stay alert because it is still far enough out that it can make a lot of changes between now and Saturday when the Philippines should start rally feeling the impact of this. People will die because of this storm, mostly in Luzon it appears. It may not be as bad as it looked two days ago but I wouldn't want it near me. My personal hunch is it will be stronger than a cat 2. #typhoon  #superthypoon  #philippines https://plus.google.com/112078832938393562132/posts/h8GvbFZR7y3
