HURRICANE RICK UPDATE PROJECTED PATH

HURRICANE RICK is currently classed as a very dangerous Category 4 Hurricane and may well reach Category 5 shortly. This would make Hurricane Rick the worst Hurricane seen in the Eastern Pacific this Hurricane season.

With Hurricane Season almost over, Hurricane Rick may very well bring the season out with a bang. At this time, forcasters feel Hurricane Rick will follow the coastline and with any luck, the Eye of Hurricane Rick will not hit land. Although, by the looks of the projected Path of Hurricane Rick, Hurricane Rick is headed for the southern Baja, an area frequently ravaged by hurricanes this year.

The Southern coast of Mexico, is also expected to see some large swells, as a result of the Hurricane force winds of HURRICANE RICK. These swells are forcasted to result in dangerous Surf conditions.

English Translation, by the looks of the various satellite images of TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE, TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE is heading in the direction of the British Islands. TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE, however, is expected to weaken and be absorbed into another lowe pressure region to the SW of England by Tuesday. So, at this point, there is no need for concern for those living in England, TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE will most likely not be sending any HURRICANE FORCE WINDS into your area. There may be some rainfall, but nothing in the relm of what is happening in the Eastern Pacific with TYPHOON PARMA which is currently battering Taiwan.

TYPHOON PARMA - SUPER TYPHOON to devastate Philippines

Days after one storm left hundreds dead and most of Manila under water, the Philippines was bracing itself Thursday for the impact of a super typhoon TYPHOON PARMA gathering pace in the western Pacific.
TYPHOON PARMA is expected to bring heavy rainfall and major property damage to the Philippines on Saturday, according to meteorologists.

TYPHOON PARMA was upgraded to a super typhoon Thursday as it churned towards the island nation with winds of 240 kph (150 mph). TYPHOON PARMA was about 600 miles (965 km) southeast of Manila, the Philippines' capital on Thursday afternoon.

The five-day tracking map shows TYPHOON PARMA south of Taiwan on Monday.

TYPHOON PARMA comes on the heels of Typhoon Ketsana, which left at least 246 people dead as it passed over the Philippines over the weekend. An additional 38 were still missing, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said

TYPHOON KETSANA affected nearly 2 million people and forced the evacuation of 567,000. At one point, 80 percent of the capital, Manila, was under water after experiencing the heaviest rainfall in 40 years.

TYPHOON KETSANA, downgraded Wednesday to a tropical depression, also killed at least 74 people in Vietnam and nine in Cambodia.

A major clean-up operation continued Thursday as Filipinos set to work repairing the damage caused by Ketsana.

In the city of Pasig -- part of metropolitan Manila -- enterprising residents used inflatable mattresses as makeshift boats to ferry people through flooded streets.


The government, which some people said did not act quickly enough, opened up part of the presidential palace for aid distribution.

Several nations have offered humanitarian assistance to the Philippines. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the organization was considering an emergency appeal for aid as several U.N. agencies also pledged support. The World Food Program said it will provide rations to 180,000 people.
