Background

During the afternoon of November 29, 2014, a tropical disturbance formed just to the south of the Federated States of Micronesia. The system was upgraded to a tropical storm on December 1. The storm continued to move towards the west-northwest and strengthen, and became Typhoon Hagupit* on December 2 and Super Typhoon Hagupit on December 3. Its maximum sustained wind speed was 149 mph. On December 4, the Philippine Government began evacuations of areas most at risk.

On December 5, Hagupit was approximately 200 miles east of the Eastern Samar province. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has identified 47 of the country’s 81 provinces as “high risk” from Hagupit and warns that some of the islands may experience storm surges at least one-story high.

As of December 8, the typhoon had made two landfalls in the Philippines and is expected to make its third landfall in Manila and the Mindoro provinces within the next 24 hours. (Hagupit made its first landfall late Saturday night in eastern Samar, and made a second landfall Sunday in the city of Cataingan on the island of Masbate.) As of 5:00 am on Monday, Hagupit had maximum sustained winds of 74 mph near the center and gusts of up to 93 mph. Residents in low-lying and mountainous areas are being advised of the potential for flash floods and landslides and coastal residents are advised of the potential for storm surges of up to 10 feet. (Source)

* The Philippines have their own naming system for tropical cyclones, and refer to the storm locally as “Ruby.” The name Hagupit in Tagalog means ‘Lash’ and may be used more often by the local population.
