quote:Philippines Braces for ‘Catastrophic’ Typhoon Koppu
It is projected to drive 115 m.p.h. winds
Typhoon Koppu may have started as modest tropical storm but experts warn it could strengthen into a deadly super typhoon when it makes landfall in the Philippines on Sunday morning.
As it barrels out of the Pacific, Koppu is projected to drive 115 m.p.h. winds and a storm surge onto Luzon island, possible resulting in “a catastrophic flood scenario,” Robert Speta, a meteorologist with Japan broadcaster NHK World, wrote on his WesternPacificWeather.com blog.
It is estimated that the storm could take two days to pass over Luzon island on its way north towards Taiwan. As Koppu lingers it could release up to 35 inches of torrential rain, raising the risk of floods and landslides, the South China Morning Post reported.
The Philippines is no stranger to devastating storms. In November 2013, more than 6,000 people died when Typhoon Haiyan cast a 15-foot storm surge and 120 m.p.h. winds through low-lying areas.

Bronquote:In northernwestern Luzon, Baguio had 983.4 millimeters (38.72 inches) of rainfall as of Tuesday morning, with more than a foot of additional rain possible in the coming days.
With Koppu's rainbands covering Luzon and slow movement of the storm, the island could be looking at several days of heavy rainfall from Koppu/Lando before what's left of it finally drifts farther north.
Rainbands in tropical cyclones can easily produce more than 2 inches of rain per hour. With additional lift for the moist air provided by Luzon's mountainous terrain, extreme storm totals of 20 to 40 inches (500 to 1,000 millimeters) are likely over parts of Luzon, particularly the Cordillera Autonomous Region encompassing the mountain ranges of northwestern Luzon.

Tering wat een water zegquote:50 inch of water
Damage over the last three days from Koppu’s landfall and subsequent flooding is still being assessed, but weather.com reports that at least 28 people have died. Nearly all buildings and infrastructure sustained damage in the city of Casiguran, close to where Koppu came ashore. It appears that much of Koppu’s heavy rain stayed just offshore, but the upslope flow against the west side of Luzon’s mountains has been enough to generate immense local amounts, triggering mudslides and floods affecting the mountains as well as adjacent lowlands. The city of Baguio racked up 40.37” of rain through Tuesday afternoon, according to weather.com. A few miles south of Baguio, the massive San Roque Dam (the largest dam in the Philippines, and the world’s twentieth largest) had plenty of water to deal with. Weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera, who maintains a comprehensive set of extreme temperature records on his website, pulled the following preliminary amounts for San Roque Dam from real-time data collected over a 24-hour period at the height of Koppu.
30 minutes: 66 mm (2.60”)
1 hour: 122 mm (4.80”)
6 hours: 483 mm (19.02”)
12 hours: 717 mm (28.23”)
18 hours: 1093 mm (43.03”)
24 hours: 1317 mm (51.85”)
If confirmed, these would set new 12- and 24-hour rainfall records for the Philippines, beating the records set during a July 1911 typhoon that dumped more than 2200 mm (87”) on Baguio in less than four days. Few other places on Earth have reported heavier amounts for half- and full-day periods. The world records of 1144 mm (45.04”) for 12 hours and 1825 mm (71.85”) for 24 hours were both set at the remote site of Foc-Foc on La Réunion island in the South Indian Ocean on January 7-8, 1966.

Typhoon Koppu death toll reaches 54 as Philippines battles devastating floods
Half a million people have been forced from their homes as torrential rains submerge villages along the coast
The death toll from a ferocious typhoon in the Philippines climbed to 54 on Thursday, as home-wrecking floods shifted downstream to coastal villages, displacing tens of thousands of residents.

Inundations from torrential rains in mountain regions caused by Typhoon Koppu cascaded into coastal fishing and farming villages, submerging them in waters up to 3m deep, officials said.
Residents of Bulacan and Pampanga province, around two hours’ drive from the capital Manila, fled by foot to evacuation centres as the waters rose quickly overnight, aggravated by a high tide.
“The waters have nowhere else to go. Imagine two to three days worth of rain from the mountains coming down
Close to 60,000 people left their homes in Bulacan and Pampanga, a geographic catch basin for waters from the upland provinces of Nueva Ecija and Aurora, which bore the brunt of Koppu on Sunday and Monday.
Lontoc said the floods in the coastal areas may last a week.
Koppu made landfall on the east coast of Luzon, the Philippines’ biggest and most populated island, early Sunday with 210km-per-hour (130-mile-per-hour) winds.
Koppu, the second strongest typhoon to hit the disaster-weary country this year, then crawled over vast swathes of Luzon for three days, bringing torrential rains that triggered landslides and massive flooding.
A report from the national disaster monitoring office said close to 500,000 people had been displaced by flooding.
The waters had receded considerably in the upland provinces and many had returned to their mud-covered homes.
But the death toll climbed to 54, from 47 on Wednesday, based on an AFP tally of confirmed figures from national and local authorities.
