What's going on with this world?
A tropical depression in the Philippines dumped so much water that it flooded the capital and the surrounding towns making it the worst flooding in four decades. Not to mention that it inundated a freshwater lake that they predicted that the surrounding towns around the lake will be submerged for at least two months.
Samoa was hit by a magnitude 8 earthquake - the worst in 90 years - that resulted into 10 - 25 feet tsunamis that has resulted into 200 deaths.
The next day, Indonesia got rattled by a 7.6 magnitude earthquake toppling buildings causing massive destruction and killing at least 1000 people as rescue workers continued digging through the rubble in the hopes of finding survivors.
Cambodia and Vietnam also felt the wrath of the tropical storm that struck the Philippines.
Just this morning, I heard of the mudslides in Sicily.
And to end the week, the Philippines is bracing for a super typhoon - just four days after getting inundated with rain.
I guess Mother Earth is now fighting back after years and years of taking abuse from us - humans. And don't think that the US is safe - unusual weather patterns in the east coast, wildfires in the west coast. We sure have underestimated nature and now we are feeling her wrath.
I guess the only good thing that's coming out of this is the free marketing blitz for the movie 2012...
