I large typhoon known as typhoon Nesat, in the last few days has brought heavy destruction to the Philippines.  At least 8 are confirmed dead with over 2 million people without power.  The typhoon brought heavy rain and winds close to 90 mph.  The craziest thing about this typhoon is that in an area about 120 hours north of Manila, land fell 120 miles from getting over an inch of rain an hour.  The storm is expected to now move to southeastern China and this storm is another perfect example of Asia and southeast Asia continues to get hit by these large storms.  As for the U.S. the only thing really going on right now is some flooding especially in the northeast but also in parts of the midwest.
