It looks like the Philippines will be faced with another episode of Mother Nature's wrath.

Typhoon "Hagupit", whose local name is "Ruby" is expected to make landfall this weekend, Accuweather.com reports.

More than 30 million people are expected to be affected by this looming weather catastrophe, after Hagupit strengthened into a super typhoon on Wednesday, which is equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane in the Pacific Ocean.

Bearing sustained winds of over 150 mph (241 kph), reports add that Hagupit briefly weakened on Thursday, strengthened back into a super typhoon on Friday, then once again lost its super typhoon status on Saturday morning.

The worst thing about it is that majority of the cities and localities that will be bearing the brunt of the storm are the same areas that were greatly affected by Typhoon Haiyan last year.

According to Accuweather.com meteorologist Anthony Sagliani, the areas in the Philippines that is expected to take the most damage are Western Samar, Northern Samar, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes province, Albay, and Sorsogon, most of which are located at the Visayas region of the country.

The report also adds that Hagupit is expected to slow its speed down as it moves through the country on Sunday until Tuesday. It also noted that due to its slow movement, the affected areas may experience more catastrophic damage brought about by the cyclone.

Tacloban was one of the most devastated areas when Typhoon Haiyan hit. In a report by GMA Network in April, the death toll hit 6,300 with 28,689 injured and 1,061 people still missing. Infrastructure damage reached to an estimated amount of P9,584,596,306.69, which is equivalent to around $213M.

Another AccuWeather meteorologist Matthew Rinde is already expecting floods in the said areas.

"Some places are likely to have over 20 inches of rainfall because of the slow nature of the storm," he said.
