Hurricane update - 8 December

Tropical storm UTOR is heading for the Central Philippines, with borderline hurricane force winds of 70 mph. As a result, the Philippine government has postponed the ASEAN summit of Southeast Asian nations which was due to be held in the city of Cebu this weekend. Utor is due to strike tomorrow, Saturday.

The Philippines have been struck by 4 typhoons this season. Durian, the last one, claimed 1,200 lives in the Philippines and sank hundreds of fishing boats off Vietnam.
