Tropical storm Bopha is coming back around to hit the Philippines again.
This time the storm is hitting the northern part of the country.
Winds of up to thirty-five miles per hour are expected, as well as several inches of rain.
Last week the storm struck the south of the country, whilst it was a typhoon.
Five hundred and forty people were killed during it's several day pounding.
Over a thousand people were injured and eight hundred and fifty are still missing.
In some areas, as much as ninety percent of housing was destroyed, causing nearly four hundred thousand people to need shelter.
President Benigno Aquino declared a state of national calamity in the typhoon hit areas, on Saturday.
