Typhoons, Floods, and Earthquakes (typhons, inondations, tremblements de terre)
The big news today in Japan is of course the Typhoon No.15.
If you say Typhoon Roke, 99.999% of the Japanese people do not understand it. But, if you say the typhoon No.15, 100% of them will understand you.
From the beginning, typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes are remote things for Anglo Saxons. So, they made a big mistake calling it with a human name. Such disasters should not be given a human nickname. They are enemies for mankind. Do not give them human names.
And, I respectfully think that Christ Jesus will never call a hurricane Katrina or Irene but Hurricane No. 12 or 13, if any.
SECTION I: The Biggest Typhoon in History
On October 12, 1979, the Typhoon No. 20 recorded the world strongest or lowest air pressure of 870 hectopascal.
At 9 p.m., Sept. 21, 2011, the Typhoon No.15 is approaching the Fukushima Daiichi power plant...
SECTION II: Water Attacking Humanity
The number of occurrence of floods has been on the increase in these decades.

As it is believed that the Second Coming of Christ Jesus started around 2010, we must check the global state of floods:
Noah's flood is well known to people. Earthquakes and floods are two major types of disasters so impressively recorded in the Bible. And it is still very difficult for mankind to protect themselves from earthquakes and floods.
But will rich men pay more tax to be used for research & development in engineering work to prevent earthquakes and floods from causing big damage?
They will not. Rich men will not pay more tax for disaster prevention. Then, the true problem is not natural disasters but rich men who do not pay more tax.

On September 11, 2001, the Typhoon No.15 landed on Japan, passing through Tokyo.
Specifically, at 9:30 a.m., the typhoon landed at Kamakura City on Honsyu Island. Then, it passed through Tokyo to Fukuhima Prefecture and finally to the North Pacific Ocean off the Sanriku area which was hit by great tsunamis in March 2011.
On September 21, 2011, the Typhoon No. 15 landed on Japan, passing near Tokyo and the Fukuhima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
We surely witnessed it.

On October 12, 1979, the Typhoon No. 20 recorded the world strongest or lowest air pressure of 870 hectopascal.
It landed on Japan on October 19, 1979 with an air pressure of 965 hPa.

Now, Typhoon No.15 is approaching Japan. It has also already marked an impressive record on its strength. In one day, while moving the South Pacific Ocean off the east of the Okinawa Islands, this big typhoon reduced its air pressure from 970 pHa to 940 pHa. It is very rare that a typhoon or a hurricane increases its air-pressure power while moving on the sea toward the land. It is so, since the lower the air pressure is, the mightier a tempest is. A certificated weather forecaster said that he has never seen this kind of phenomena in his 40-year long career.
At 3 p.m., Sept. 21, 2011 (Click to enlarge. http://weather.jp.msn.com/maps.aspx)
Typhoon Tip (international designation: 7920,JTWC designation: 23W, PAGASA name:Warling) was the largest and most intensetropical cyclone on record. The nineteenth tropical storm and twelfth typhoon of the 1979 Pacific typhoon season, Tip developed out of a disturbance in the monsoon trough on October 4 near Pohnpei. Initially, a tropical storm to its northwest hindered the development and motion of Tip, though after it tracked further north Tip was able to intensify. After passing Guam, it rapidly intensified and reached peak winds of 305 km/h (190 mph)[nb 1] and a worldwide record low sea-level pressure of 870 mbar (hPa, 25.69 in Hg) on October 12. At its peak strength, it was also the largest tropical cyclone on record with a diameter of 2,220 km (1,380 mi).

As it is believed that the Second Coming of Christ Jesus started around 2010, we must check the global state of floods:
2010s
- in June 2011 flooding in China affected more than 4.8 million people, with 100,000 evacuated and 54 reported dead.
- 2011 Brazil floods of January are consider the worst in the country's history. As of Jan. 18, the floods have taken about 700 lives and 14,000 people are homeless mainly due to landslides.
- The 2010-2011 Queensland floods are some of the worst the country of Australia has ever seen.
- The November 2010 Colombia floods and associated landslides killed 138 persons. 1.3 million were left homeless.
- In November 2010, many areas of Cornwall, UK, were struck by floods. The worst hit area was the town of Par.
- On August 4, 2010 at 9:25 am EST a major thunderstorm producing large hail and winds in excess of 60 mph (97 km/h) advanced at the leading edge of a cold front moving across the American Midwest, causing a flash flood that struck Louisville,Kentucky and portions of the surrounding Kentuckiana region.
- On July 26, 2010, heavy monsoon rains flooded most of Pakistan in the 2010 Pakistan floods.
- In May 2010 until August 2010 flooding in China affected more than 230 million people - with 15.2 million people evacuated and thousands dead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_floods#Pakistan
- In May 2010, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk informs the Sejm that ongoing flooding is "the worst natural disaster in the nation's history".
Noah's flood is well known to people. Earthquakes and floods are two major types of disasters so impressively recorded in the Bible. And it is still very difficult for mankind to protect themselves from earthquakes and floods.
