Typhoon Lupit today hovered just off the tip of the northern Philippines, bringing huge waves and strong winds with a threat of landslides. The typhoon, known locally as "Ramil", had slowed, but was still expected to cross the north of the main Luzon Island on Sunday. The chief government forecaster said the Typhoon is almost stationary over the northern tip of Cagayan province with wind gusts reaching 150 kilometres per hour. He said the northernmost provinces of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte would continue to experience bad weather such as strong wind and rain. Lupit's imminent arrival comes after tropical storms Ketsana and Parma caused massive destruction across the northern Philippines from September 26.
