Typhoon Noul The name Noul has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by North Korea and it means glowing or sunset. This name replaced Pongsona after 2002 Pacific typhoon season and it means for garden balsam.
Typhoon Hagupit (2014) Typhoon Hagupit, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Ruby, was the second most intense tropical cyclone in 2014. Hagupit particularly impacted the Philippines in early December while gradually weakening, killing 18 people and causing $114 million (2014 USD) in the country. Prior to making landfall, Typhoon Hagupit was considered the worst threat to the Philippines in 2014; fortunately, the disaster was significantly smaller than 2013's Typhoon Haiyan.
