...and tomorrow, a super-typhoon will hit the Philipines--currently running at 190 mph sustained and 230 mph gusts. That's off the hurricane "category" chart and into EF 4-5 tornado territory--a tornado the size of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.

This is likely to be a horrific storm, not just for the Philippines, Vietnam & Laos are next on the list.

ABC is reporting wind speeds of 235mph at landfall: [url="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/thousands-flee-philippines-typhoon-nears-20812079"]Strongest Typhoon of the Year Slams Philippines.[/url]

They are saying this could be the worst typhoon in recorded history.
