Lupit becomes Super Typhoon
Super Typhoon Lupit is heading for the northern island of Luzon
Super Typhoon Lupit continued to strengthen on Saturday as it headed towards the northern Philippines. Officials at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center have issued warnings for Luzon, where the typhoon is expected to make landfall on Thursday.
It is already packing winds of 130mph (209kph) and is forecast to become stronger. If it reaches the Philippines, it will be the third typhoon to hit the country in a month.
Typhoons Ketsana and Parma caused devastating floods earlier this month, with more than 900 deaths and an estimated $350 million worth of damage.
