Super Typhoon Hagupit Aims for the Philippine Islands, Threatening the Region Devastated by Hayan

Super Typhoon Hagupit is swirling off the coast of the Philippine Islands today with maximum sustained winds of about 170 miles per hour and gusts of more than 200 (as of 11 a.m. EST).

It looks like the cyclone, known as Ruby in the Philippines, is headed for landfall there some time on Saturday.



The U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center and the Philippine PAGASA agency disagree on Hagupit's exact track, but the storm is likely to hit the area devastated by Super Typhoon Hayan. Click o
