Typhoon Hagupit (Tagalog for "lash") is headed DIRECTLY for the very areas hit by Yolanda a year ago. Eastern Samar Island, a rural area which borders Leyte Island and was severely devastated last year, will bear the brunt of first landfall.
It's a Category 4, not as extreme as Yolanda, but still expected to affect 30 million people.
Please keep the Philippines in your thoughts and prayers. People will need help, I know this. Maps and more below the jump.
