Ketsana formed early about {{convert|860|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the northwest of [[Palau]] on September 23, 2009. The depression remained weak and was downgraded to a low pressure area later that day by the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] (JMA) but after drifting through extremely favorable conditions, it intensified the next day and was categorized as Tropical Depression by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ([[PAGASA]]) and was given the name Ondoy after entering the [[Philippine Area of Responsibility]]. The [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the depression. It was then upgraded to a tropical depression by the JMA later that morning before the JTWC followed suit early on September 25, designating the depression as 17W. Soon, Ketsana was upgraded to a [[tropical cyclone|tropical storm]] before passing over the [[Philippines]]. As it moved into the [[South China Sea]] the storm intensified while moving toward the west, and was categorized as a Severe Tropical Storm by the JMA.
[[President of the Philippines|President]] [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]] declared a "[[State of calamity (Philippines)|state of calamity]]" encompassing most of Luzon after at least 86 people were initially reported dead in [[landslide]]s and other incidents.<ref name=IOLonline>{{cite news |title=Philippines storm leaves 106 dead — report |journal=Independent Online |date=2009-09-28 |url=http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_News&set_id=1&click_id=79&art_id=nw20090927151617321C689274 |access-date=2009-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080522002726/http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_News |archive-date=2008-05-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Flood water levels reached a record {{convert|20|ft|m}} in rural areas.
