PHILIPPINES-TYPHOON-LUPIT
This image obtained from the NASA Aqua satellite shows Typhoon Lupit in the Philippine Sea on October 18, 2009. Philippine authorities Sunday put rescue teams on standby and stockpiled emergency supplies as the country braced for Typhoon Lupit in the wake of two storms which left more than 900 people dead. The government weather service said the outer bands of the latest typhoon, now packing winds of up to 175 kilometres (109 miles) an hour, could affect the north of the main island of Luzon late Wednesday. The eye of the storm stayed nearly stationary for a few hours Sunday, some 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) off Luzon's east coast, but could clip the island's extreme north later in the week, it added. "Those in critical areas should be evacuated now that there is still time," weather service chief Prisco Nilo told a news conference. "It would be more difficult to rescue people in the middle of a typhoon," he added. AFP PHOTO/NASA = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE =
