I think Asia, where I am, sees more tropical storms than the Americas do. But the Americas have far more tornadoes. The seasons for each seem to be about opposite times of the year, so this topic may see some discussion year-round. Weather events are numerous, but this topic is reserved for the "windy" ones.

One website I have found useful is:

http://tropicalstormrisk.com

There are others. Currently, we are facing the strongest and most powerful storm of the year anywhere on the planet: Super Typhoon Haiyan.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

Who or want is causing it? Is it from God to punish Asia? Or is it the work of Satan? Is this storm God's will?

Super Typhoon Haiyan is said to have winds in excess of 150 knots per hour, sustained for one minute, which is about 175 mph, or about 280 kph. This means gusts are over 200 mph and over 330 kph. The storm surge may be fairly strong, though no one seems to have a clear idea of how strong. The typhoon is expected to weaken before making landfall in the Philippines, and then is on track for continuing into Vietnam, Laos, and then may affect China, Thailand, or Burma.

Last year, Super Typhoon Bopha killed over 400 people in the Philippines.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

I was just corrected/updated by an Australian news source that says Bopha killed over 1000 people in the Philippines last year, and they are saying that this storm may be worse even than that. The reporter claimed that Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) is more powerful than anything in Australia's recorded history.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

WHOA! This is the strongest typhoon in terms of shear wind speed I ever remember seeing in my lifetime. Its intensity has INCREASED, instead of decreasing as was predicted. It is now packing sustained winds of about 165 knots, which equals 190 mph, and about 306 kph.

Look at http://tropicalstormrisk.com for the current status. Accuweather also has their take on it HERE.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

My heart is aching thinking and praying about this storm and the precious people in its path. I've served as a missionary in Mindoro where the storm is projected to hit hardest.

Do you think evil angels are free to wield nature as a weapon and to wreak havoc as they please? Do you think Jesus can do nothing about it?
If your hears is aching, what do you think God's heart is doing? Rejoicing? I think not.

It is Satan's power that is at work at sea and on land, bringing calamity and distress, and sweeping off multitudes to make sure of his prey. And storm and tempest both by sea and land will be, for Satan has come down in great wrath. He is at work. He knows his time is short and, if he is not restrained, we shall see more terrible manifestations of his power than we have ever dreamed of. {14MR 3.1}

Thank you for that link, Mike. One small but noteworthy fact presented in that news article was the following.

Quote:
With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Haiyan was probably the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land anywhere in the world in recorded history. It will take further analysis after the storm passes to establish whether it is a record.


This means that it strengthened even more after I went to bed last night. Upon checking again, it had weakened slightly, but very little. It was fully a Category 5 Super Typhoon upon making landfall.

I guess there has been some discussion in the past about creating a Category 6. This one would have been a Cat. 6.

I may be affected by this typhoon. If you don't see me online for awhile, it may be on account of it. I should be safe otherwise...I think.

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.

This storm is currently churning over the Philippines. It threatens Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand next. The remnants of the storm may land it either Burma or China. Current forecasts indicate it may completely pass over the Philippines as a Category 5 storm, and thus have plenty of momentum for crossing the sea to the countries beyond.

This is unprecedented.

I was a little dismayed at the Philippine weather agency, Pagasa, in their reporting on the storm. They significantly understated its strength. Perhaps they felt it would calm people's fears. Perhaps, too, there would have been very little anyone could do in this situation. This storm was so strong, that they say only concrete and steel-reinforced structures can withstand it.

Originally Posted By: Wikipedia
Category 5 is the highest category a tropical cyclone can obtain in the Saffir–Simpson scale. These storms cause complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings, and some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. Collapse of many wide-span roofs and walls, especially those with no interior supports, is common. Very heavy and irreparable damage to many wood frame structures and total destruction to mobile/manufactured homes is prevalent. Only a few types of structures are capable of surviving intact, and only if located at least 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 km) inland. They include office, condominium and apartment buildings and hotels that are of solid concrete or steel frame construction, public multi-story concrete parking garages, and residences that are made of either reinforced brick or concrete/cement block and have hipped roofs with slopes of no less than 35 degrees from horizontal and no overhangs of any kind, and if the windows are either made of hurricane-resistant safety glass or covered with shutters. Unless all of these requirements are met, the absolute destruction of a structure is certain.[5]

The storm's flooding causes major damage to the lower floors of all structures near the shoreline, and many coastal structures can be completely flattened or washed away by the storm surge. Virtually all trees are uprooted or snapped and some may be debarked, isolating most communities impacted. Massive evacuation of residential areas may be required if the hurricane threatens populated areas. Total and extremely long-lived extensive power outages and water losses are to be expected, possibly for up to several months.[5]
Historical examples of storms that made landfall at Category 5 status include the 1959 Mexico Hurricane, Camille (1969), Anita (1977), David (1979), Gilbert (1988), Andrew (1992), Dean and Felix (both in 2007).

(Emphasis mine)

Blessings,

Green Cochoa.
