"Philippines Braces for Intensifying Severe Tropical Storm Doksuri"

Severe tropical storm Doksuri, which may strengthen into a typhoon, is approaching the Philippines and prompting the country to scale back activity in the capital. The storm, known as Egay in the Philippines, is moving westward with sustained winds of 95 kph and gusts of up to 115 kph. Government work and public-school classes in Metro Manila have been suspended on Monday, when Doksuri is expected to make its closest approach to the capital.
