Typhoon Pepeng arrived in the Philippines and left four people dead as it now heads for Taiwan. Peping did not do as much damage as Typhoon Ondoy which flooded the Philippines with the record rainfall.
Tens of thousands of Filipinos evacuated their homes in fear of another Ondoy flood, which left over 400 people dead. The Typhoon Ondoy death toll is expected to rise as rescuers continue relief operations.
Discussions about car insurance, home insurance, and home loan renewals and applications are rampant because of this disaster. Many car and home insurances apparently do not cover “acts of God” events, where no one had control of the situation. It seems likely that home loan applications will rise because of the substantial damaged caused to houses all over the metro.
Also, the government is looking for volunteers who could donate goods, food, first aid kits, etc. Those who could use and administer the first aid kits to ailing victims are also necessary to help the affected people.
Typhoon Pepeng weakened slightly and changed course as it headed to north and then to Taiwan. Regardless, strong winds of 108 mph damaged towns and various communication lines.
The Typhoon Pepeng death toll stands at four people. One man drowned in Isabela whil another died presumably from pneumonia and the cold and wet weather. The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) revealed that two other people from Camarines Sur died. One fell from a roof while a two-year-old boy drowned.

Indonesia was hit by a second earthquake on Thursday at the time when rescuers were trying to reach more survivors after yesterday’s earthquake which killed at least 467 people. Thousands are still trapped under collapsed debris and buildings.
The first Indonesia earthquake, which recorded a 7.6 magnitude on the scale, killed at least 467 people. The Indonesia earthquake death toll was expected to rise as rescuers continue dig through the debris. The second Indonesia earthquake, however, made things more difficult for rescuers and ensured more casualties, as it recorded a 6.8 magnitude quake on the scale.
Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari stated about the Indonesia earthquake:
“This is a high-scale disaster.”
Of the currently recorded Indonesia earthquake death toll of 467 people, 376 occurred in Padang, the capital of West Sumatra province. At least 500 buildings were said to have been badly damaged. 421 people were seriously injured.
The second Indonesia earthquake, which was recorded with a 6.8 magnitude, hit approximately 150 miles south of Padang, as revealed by the US Geological Survey.

A massive tsunami that hit Samoa killed 99 people, left others missing, and destroyed Samoan villages on Wednesday. The Samoa tsunami was caused by a strong earthquake that had a magnitude between 8.0 and 8.3.
The earthquake was centered about 125 miles from Samoa and approximately 120 miles from nearby the US territory of American Samoa.
Four tsunamis that had heights of about 15 to 20 feet hit American Samoa and reached land one mile from the shore.
At least 30 people, on the other hand, were killed on American Samoa, Gov. Togiola Tulafono said. The American Samoa death toll is expected to rise as Tulafano added:
“I don’t think anybody is going to be spared in this disaster.”
A tsunami alert was triggered on the same day for countries along the Indian Ocean, when western Indonesia was hit by a strong underwater quake. The alert was later canceled.
