As you may have noticed, most of my other blog posts have revolved around one main hazard that we've been dealing with (at least, here in the U.S.) for the past year. The drought has been on many people's minds, but according to two separate stories on Accuweather.com, the rains are returning.
In California and other South-West states there has been a weather shift with low pressure areas which has led to showers and storms in areas that haven't seen rain since early spring. In Seattle, WA, there has been a historic dry spell, but it has been broken at last as high pressure systems bring precipitation back to the typically rainy city.
Here in the middle of Wisconsin, where drought has led to loss of crops and other problems, we began getting rain yesterday, and it is supposed to continue on into the weekend. Personally, I'm thinking it's about time! We need the rain! Badly. I hope that you, too, wherever you are in the world, get the weather that you need to thrive in.
As always, here are the links to the articles. Enjoy:

10/7/2012 ~ Prapiroon
Hey everyone, sorry for not posting in a while, I've been really busy with writing stories and working on drawings for my other classes.
Anyway, there's a relatively new tropical storm in the oceanic region of Japan and the Philippines that could very well become a typhoon in the next few days. A typhoon is simply a different word for hurricane, used in Asian and Australian regions.
According to http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/new-tropical-threat-in-pacific/86175 and http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/74653-tropical-storm-prapiroon/ the storm will likely bring heavy rains to the Philippines, and move North to hit Japan in about a week. And while it may not reach land for a week, it will definitely disrupt the local fisheries, ports and shipping industries.
Let's all keep Japan in our hearts, minds, and, if you're into it, prayers.
