The name Leepi has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the northwestern North Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by Laos and refers to the Li Phi Falls / Tat Somphamit Waterfalls, considered the most beautiful waterfall at the end of southern part of Lao PDR, at the border with Cambodia.[1] It replaced the name Xangsane, which was retired following the 2006 Pacific typhoon season.
