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.
