I see that a mafor earthquake has struck Indonesia today While; Ketsana, downgraded from a typhoon to a tropical depression, set its sights on a fourth nation Wednesday -- barreling toward Laos after leaving a trail of destruction and death across southeast Asia.
By Wednesday morning, the death toll from the storm's rage had topped 325: at least 246 in the Philippines, 74 in Vietnam and nine in Cambodia. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/09/30/vietnam.typhoon.ketsana.toll/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn

The typhoon called " Parma" is now preparing to hit the Philippines, and may glance off of them to hit Taiwan next (it's not entirely predictable). There are multiple ways of measuring a typhoon: wind strength, overall diameter, barometric pressure in the eye, moisture content, etc. However, barometric pressure is one of the easiest and more conventional means of comparing the relative strengths of tropical storms. According to this measurement of pressure, Parma now equals the strength of Hurricane Katrina when it made landfall--and there are still some warm seas ahead of it. Wherever this hits, there will be damage. Blessings, Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

That not good news.

I'm watching two separate forecasts for it. One says Parma, which has been upgraded to a Super-typhoon status by the way, will hit the Philippines and then veer left (south) as a result--leading it away from Taiwan. The other report still shows Parma tracking toward Taiwan, with less of an impact in the Philippines.
I have a feeling the first one is more accurate. Unfortunately, it will also cause more damage that way. I feel that Taiwan has better infrastructure and architecture to handle quakes and storms. The Philippines has not had as strong of an economy, and has not built as well. So, for their sake, I hope that the Typhoon will come hit us in Taiwan instead. It's just not looking as likely now, with Parma scheduled to hit the Philippines in about two days' time.
Blessings,
Green Cochoa.

I have a relation with in-laws in the Philippines, so I would rather see it go the other way as well. As if I have any control! I will keep all in my prayers.

Is it possible to steer typhoons? Some people think the HAARP weapon system can do that.

Prayer is one method that works (when it's God's will).

Mountain Man, Is it possible God will let evil men hurt millions of people before Jesus comes?

Yes. Jesus has permitted all manner of evil to play out resulting in millions of deaths (though it breaks His heart).
