A new monster typhoon has hit the Philippines. They call her Megi and she killed at least one person already this morning. Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes. BBC News claims: "it will re-emerge into the South China Sea and re-intensify as it heads for southern China."
It's always scary when uncontrollable forces like this hit. Especially for someone like me, who has grown up in a place where natural disasters is known almost solely from TV and American movies, it is easy to fall into the trap of letting yourself be fascinated by the idea. Type example was the horrible tsunami in 2004. As many Swedes were affected when the holiday resorts in Thailand were destroyed, people got almost obsessed with what was happening. Those who didn't know anyone that had been affected still lost focus on everything else, as if their every day life didn't matter. The bright side was that many many people donated money to help.
I will keep an eye out for ways to help the people who's homes will be hit by the typhoon. Even for us with limited resources there should be a way. Those of you who believe should pray no one else gets hurt.
