I wish I had better news to start the show after coming back from
the Veterans Day long weekend but sadly we have to talk about the typhoon high
on
and the death toll that in the Philippines is climbing into the
thousands officially in
and even by one estimate could be far more than that your own use and the CBC
are reporting that unofficially the strongest
recorded tropical cyclone to make landfall
typhoon high on had wind speeds up to 315 kilometers per hour that's about 295
miles per hour
caused huge devastation in Philippines
particularly on some are island and late
where the governor estimated that 10,000 people
may have died in this city up Tacloban
alone officially the confirmed death toll about an hour ago Lewis was 1774
with at least 24 87 hurt
$25 million dollars has been released by the United Nations humanitarian affairs
office for aid
vietnam is now bracing for the arrival love the typhoon
this is just untold a
levels of devastation Louis stories a body's piled up in the streets
it just horrible yeah
and every time I this is of course very early age and unfortunately every time
we hear that
thousands may be dead I'm after something at this magnitude usually tens
of thousands
and I i expect that the Skyrocket and I just hope that
they can get the aid they need not only that 800,000 people have been evacuated
from northern Vietnam and they've been moved to shelters in what are considered
to be safe
zones so at we also have to hope that
it will be weaker when it gets to vietnam its
it may be happening now is as we speak I
and and a hopefully the preparations are sufficient to reduce
be casualties hopefully tonight at all
whenever there's an incident like this you start hearing us some portion of
people Lewis who say well
people shouldn't even live in these areas and sometimes this applies to
Florida in the US sometimes people say
nobody should really be living in Southern California what with the
earthquake problem
I just don't think its pragmatic for practical
at all right yes it's true that at some point Florida may be completely
underwater
it's unlikely that it would just simply happen overnight with absolutely no
warning
is it ever really practical a productive at all to start talking about no one
should live in any area
that could have a natural disaster this storm
could cover an entire country in the area it hit me where you gonna do next
say that no one should live in that country
its it's a little ridiculous although I will agree that nobody should live in
Florida but had nothing to do with Dom
global warming or or whether right and you how many years did you live in
Florida you lived there until you were
like 8 and then again for college well
from when I was like 327 and then nom
for about eight-year in I yep
for college are at the lowest certainly has its share Florida experience okay
we're going to keep following the typhoon hopefully
there won't be equally horrifying news to report tomorrow after the vietnam
landfall
