Heads-Up! Killer Heat Wave followed by Killer Typhoon -- Coincidence?
Not at all. Heat is the food that creates and sustains creation of
typhoons, cyclones, huricanes and tornadoes. The powerful updraft
thermals draw in unstable cooler air which condenses the water vapor
contents to rain. Sustained cyles of updrafts reaching high altitude
cool the wet air sufficiently that self-perpetuating storms coalese.

It is fairly elementary physics. Is it global warming? To some
unmeasurable amount it is, but industry capture of government
priorities leave most of the planet insufficiently covered with
instruments and instrument observers to accurately compute how much
influence global warming is presently exerting.

Those who want better proof should be working for regime chnge so that
science is put on the job doing the measuring it knows how to do.

Chinese typhoon destroys 100,000 homes

The death toll from a powerful typhoon that hit eastern China has
risen to 115.

Typhoon Rananim hit China's Zhejiang province late on Thursday,
leaving massive destruction in its wake.

The death toll has been steadily rising as more than 8 million people
in 50 cities and counties were affected.

The typhoon was one of the strongest storms to hit China in years.

More than 100,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged and hundreds of
thousands of acres of farmland has been ruined.

There is also widespread flooding that is expected to worsen with the
typhoon downgraded to a tropical storm.

Meanwhile, more than 125,000 people are homeless in south-western
China after an earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale earlier
this week.

At least 115 dead, 1,800 injured as typhoon pounds eastern China




SHANGHAI : At least 115 people were killed and more than 1,800 injured
when a powerful typhoon ripped through eastern China, leaving massive
destruction in its wake, local officials and media said.

Typhoon Rananim, one of the strongest storms in years, hit land in
Wenling city on the coast of Zhejiang province, about 135 kilometres
(85 miles) south of Shanghai, late Thursday.

Provincial officials said 42,400 homes were destroyed and 88,000
damaged while state television station CCTV said 270,000 hectares
(666,900 acres) of farmland was ruined. Thousands of trees have been
uprooted.

The death toll was likely to rise as the storm roared its way through
the area and into neighbouring provinces.

"The typhoon has killed 115 people in the entire Zhejiang province,
with 16 others missing," CCTV reported in its evening news.

"Fifty cities and counties in the province have been affected. The
total number of people affected were 8.59 million people."

Zhejiang provincial civil affairs bureau told AFP 1,800 people had
been injured. The ministry of civil affairs said late Friday that
figure had not changed.

More than 31,000 head of livestock also perished and state media said
economic losses so far were 15.3 billion yuan (1.8 billion dollars).

An official at the provincial civil affairs bureau said the death toll
was likely to rise.

"The conditions are very bad and because we are still gathering
information this figure is likely to increase," the official, surnamed
Su, said.

There was no immediate news on the fate of more than 60 people
stranded at sea on board fishing boats as the storm hit.

"The typhoon hit the city badly," a Wenling civil affairs bureau
official surnamed Wang told AFP.

"Everywhere there are uprooted trees. Some trees have even been cut
off in the middle. Virtually all the traffic signs have been blown
over and are on the roads," she said.

"There's flooding and most of the roads are closed. Windows are
shattered and walls have collapsed, houses have been destroyed."

The city was without power for most of the night although it had been
restored by Friday morning.

Some 410,000 people were evacuated from villages in coastal areas
before the typhoon packing winds of up to 160 kilometres per hour (99
mph) whipped in off the sea.

Trees and guard rails were knocked down and huge waves crashed onto
waterfronts.

Airports in Ningbo and Wenzhou cities in Zhejiang and nearby Shanghai
were shut down, CCTV said.

Central government ministries have allocated 61 million yuan to the
disaster area, CCTV said.

The typhoon also caused varying degrees of damage in Shanghai, as well
as southern Fujian province and Taiwan off the east coast but damage
there was much less than Zhejiang.

By Friday evening, road and air traffic had returned to normal in most
of Zhejiang, CCTV said.

Wenling Meteorological Bureau said Rananim had now been downgraded to
a tropical storm but was still packing force nine winds as it made its
way west.

"At the centre the wind is now force nine and over the next few days
it will move through Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, bringing heavy
rain," said spokesman Xu Huihuang.

By Friday night, the typhoon will reach Anhui and Hubei provinces west
of Zhejiang, CCTV said.

An official at the Zhejiang anti-flood and drought headquarters added:
"The dangerous period had passed. Today the wind speed has reduced a
lot but it is still blowing, it is still raining.

"Today's situation is better but it's not over yet."

East China is prone to typhoons and has been pummeled by at least 14
over the past 50 years.

The worst on record was in 1997 when 236 people were killed.
