Based on the past and current records and experiences Lipa City, Batangas is the least typhoon prone cities in Luzon Philippines. It is located approx 78 km south of Manila. The city's location, in a valley between Mount Malarayat and Mount Makulot, makes it low risk area. These two mountains serve as a wind breaker in times of typhoon. Mount Makulot at the western portion also served as shield of the city in times of eruption of Taal Volcano.
The amount of damage done by a typhoon or cyclone depends on many factors, not the least of which is the storm's path. In populated areas, especially in underdeveloped regions, casualties from flooding can become very high. Out of the approximately 1800 deaths during the 2011 typhoon season in the Pacific, nearly 1300 resulted from a weaker but rainier storm, Severe Tropical Storm Washi, that never reached typhoon status. Its floods destroyed more than 9000 homes in the Philippines. By contrast, the 8 typhoons of the season combined for only about 211 total deaths.
Signal 1 is one of 4 warning signals that are used by PAGASA to indicate the strength of a typhoon in the Philippines. Signal 1 is the least intense of the 4 signals. A typhoon that is this strength will typically cast off winds between 30-60 kph and rains for at least 36 hours.
In 1994, a typhoon known as Typhoon Angela (International name: Babs) struck the Philippines. It made landfall in the Bicol Region, causing widespread destruction and resulting in numerous casualties. The typhoon brought heavy rains and strong winds, leading to flooding, landslides, and extensive damage to infrastructure.
A storm must have sustained winds of at least 74 mph to be considered a typhoon.
First we must cover the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon, which is only one of location. A hurricane occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or in the northern Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. A typhoon occurs in the northern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line. A major hurricane is a hurricane of at least category 3 strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale, that is with winds of at least 111 mph. Super typhoon is an unofficial category for a typhoon with winds of at least 150 mph, which is equivalent to a strong category 4 hurricane.

The landslides and severe flooding left at least 246 people dead and 38 others missing.
The least populated region in the Philippines is the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), located in the northern part of Luzon. Its population is relatively low compared to other regions in the country due to its mountainous terrain and fewer urban centers.

Antarctica has never had a typhoon or tornado, at least not for millions of years.
