Hurricane update - 25 November

Just an advance warning that a typhoon is brewing up over Micronesia, called Durian. This system will pass within 40 miles of Yap (look it up, it's part of the Federated States of Micronesia) as a tropical storm. Local forecasts (long live the Internet) do not mention the system yet, neither does the Philippines PAGASA weather agency. And it's the Philippines that could yet get an unwelcome visitor later next week. Again.
