Typhoon Morokat

On the 8-9 of August there was the worst storm in Taiwan in 50 years with 2 and a half meters of flooding. Each day non-stop, many people have suffered from this natural disaster. Here in the picture you can see a hotel has fallen down by the major flooding. Luckily no one in the hotel got killed. The news estimated that 800-900 people have been killed in this storm. In this little town in Taiwan, Chaiya was the most affect town in Taiwan. In Chaiya the whole was right at the bottom of two mountains with their reservoir. By this town has two river on each side on the North and on the South, during the flooding these rivers over ran over and destroyed a brige connecting a highway. If you look closer to the picture can see how fast the water is running.

Thomas, this is a good graphic selection, and your writing shows a pretty good understanding of the situation there. I was hoping your text would focus on the learnings a little more. 1) the environment, and 2) people living in the environment. We will continue to work in this direction, and you will get more understanding the longer we go for it. Keep up the good work.
