Using satellite sensors, scientists peered into the eye of super typhoon Lawin Wednesday before it slammed into Cagayan province in northern Philippines.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies revealed that satellite-based Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors showed lightning streaks, gravity waves, mesovortices inside the super typhoon's eye.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
According to the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), atmospheric gravity waves form when buoyancy pushes air up, and gravity pulls it back down. Studies have shown that tropical cyclones generate gravity waves. </div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Mesovortices, meanwhile, are rotating bodies of air found inside storms and the eyewall of tropical cyclones. </div>

Super typhoon Lawin made landfall in Peñablanca, Cagayan at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, according to state weather bureau PAGASA.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
The super typhoon, which has a massive 800-kilometer diameter, will cross the provinces of Apayao and Ilocos Norte, before exiting the Philippine area of responsibility Thursday evening.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Five areas were placed under storm signal number 5. These are Cagayan, Isabela, Kalinga, Apayao, Northern Abra and Ilocos Norte.<br />This is the first time state weather bureau PAGASA issued a storm signal number 5.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
The rest of Abra, Ilocos Sur, Mt. Province, Ifugao and Calayan Group of Islands were placed under storm signal number 4.</div>

<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
MANILA <strong>(UPDATE)</strong> - State weather bureau PAGASA on Wednesday morning placed 30 areas under storm warning signals as the "extremely dangerous" Typhoon ''Lawin'' continued to grow in size, strength and speed.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
The typhoon will also dump occasionally intense rains and trigger storm surges as it marches across northern Luzon, the weather agency warned.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
"Lumakas, lumawak at bumilis ang ating bagyo kaya talagang delikado na itong bagyo," PAGASA meteorologist Samuel Duran said.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
The U.S. Naval Observatory's Joint Typhoon Warning Center said Tuesday that Lawin is now a super typhoon. PAGASA has yet to raise Lawin to super typhoon status because of differences in its measurements compared to the JTWC.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
In an 8 a.m. bulletin, PAGASA said the typhoon was already packing top sustained winds of 210 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 260 kph.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
The typhoon's diameter also increased from 650 kilometers on Tuesday night to 700 kilometers early Wednesday.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Duran said moderate to heavy and occasionally intense rains were seen within Lawin's diameter, especially near its eye wall, shown in red in this satellite image:</div>

<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
"Lagi po nating pinagdidiinan na itong bagyo natin ay kakaiba. Based po sa ating satellite imagery, makikita po natin na napakalaki ng ating bagyo. And then iyung red portion na iyan, iyan talaga ang maulan," he said.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
[We are stressing that this typhoon is unusual. Based on our satellite image, we can see that the typhoon is very wide. That red portion indicates intense rains.]<br />
<br />
The typhoon, moving west northwest, also picked up speed from 24 to 26 kph, Duran added.</div>
<div class="ads-block article-ads-entry ads-rec" style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 10px auto; width: 526.391px;">

<div id="google_ads_iframe_/2744311/ABSNews_News_Banner_2__container__" style="border: 0pt none; margin: auto; max-width: 100%;">
He said storm surges are expected if the storm speeds up while more rainfall is expected if it slows down.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
"Katulad po ng kay Haiyan (Typhoon Yolanda in 2013), mas malakas siya at mas mabilis so iyung tama niya sa dalampasigan, iyun ang nagproduce talaga ng malalakas or matataas na storm surges. Iyun po ang effect kapag bumilis ang ating bagyo," he said.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
"Kapag dumating naman po sa mga pag-ulan, kapag bumagal itong bagyo, mas mababad naman ang bagyo sa lugar. Either way, destructive po talaga ang bagyo natin."</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
[Like Typhoon Yolanda, it strengthened and sped up so when it hit the coast, it produced strong or high storm surges. That is the effect when our storm speeds up. When it comes to rainfall, if the storm slows down, it will stay longer in the area. Either way, our typhoon is really destructive.]</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
PAGASA has raised storm signals in these areas:</div>

<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Duran said storm surges of up to five meters may also hit Cagayan, Calayan Islands, Isabela, and Ilocos Norte.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Lawin is also likely to intensify into a super typhoon before it makes landfall over Cagayan area early Thursday.</div>

PAGASA urged residents of provinces in the typhoon's path to follow evacuation measures.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
"Kung may evacuation po tayo na pinapalabas na, sumunod na po agad dahil itong bagyo natin ay hindi na po ito nagbibiro. Impending na po at malapit na. Binibigyan lang tayo ng halos isang araw lang para magkaroon tayo ng magandang pre-evacuation," Duran said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
[If we have evacuation and we are ordered to go out, let us obey because this storm is no joke. It is impending and already near. We are given just under a day to hold efficient pre-evacuation.]</div>
