Typhoon Parma

Super typhoon Parma is now forecast to be heading for the northern part of the Philippines:

Even worse than that, it is currently forecast to move rather slowly as it crosses Luzon, and then to hang around for a while. Note that forecasts this far in advance are quite uncertain, but if the current forecast track is maintained then things will get very nasty in the northern Philippines, given how wet the ground must be after Typhoon Ketsana.
