Amazing the difference between Typhoon hitting a developed country with a (somewhat) democraticaly elected government as opposed to one hitting a communist military controlled country that gives no warning and no help to it's people.

Sounds like time to get up onn the roof and fix the TV aerial and replace those missing tiles. What money a few punters get injured in this one from doing something daft outdoors in the middle of the storm.

Death toll in the single digits versus tens of thousands.

capone: and this... "no warning and no help to it's people." vs warning, and help.

wakaimasen,

yep. we will be reading about all the 78 year men up getting blown off the roof. Did you ever think that their wives wait for a typhoon before sending them up there?
