Storm's A-Comin'


Thought you might like to see what weather is like on this side of the world. (Click the map to enlarge.) There are two major storms hitting Asia right now. In the Pacific, these storms are called typhoons, in the Atlantic, hurricanes. We've had a couple hit the mainland already, and one of them did a lot of damage. Now we've got two going at the same time; Bopha (the bottom one) and Saomai (the one farther north).

They're both in the south of here, so things are pretty calm up in my neck of the woods. If you look at the 30th parallel and follow along to the coast, I'm located at the bottom of the notch. It's been helpful to clear the air and the high humidity out--today is a very nice day indeed.

Here's a link to a pretty cool website that tracks these storms all over the world. So the next time one approaches North America, maybe you can e-mail the appropriate authorities and give them a heads-up. Based on recent history, looks like they could use the help.

Speaking of which, after what happened Tuesday night, it looks like there's a storm brewing all over the land back there. Don't forget to go to Lew Katz' website and help intensify the winds of change.
