And now a bit of news from the “oh yeah, something exists outside of football in LA” file: a typhoon has totally beat the crap out of the Philippines — the fourth in as many months. Over 300 people have been killed in the past few days, and the toll keeps rising. From CNN:
MANILA, Philippines (CNN) — The deadly typhoon that slammed into the Philippines has killed at least 303 people and injured 163 others, officials said Saturday.
The National Disaster Coordinating Council said another 293 people were missing in the wake of Typhoon Durian, which triggered massive flooding and volcanic mudslides.
Officials said 38,473 were being housed in evacuation shelters.

That’s bunk, Don. Bush did not cause the Trojans to lose to the Bruins ;>. He couldn’t have, he’s with the Saints now ;}. More’s the pity; USC obviously could have used a little Push… hmm? Hah?? / Oh. Nevermind. :]
Thanks for Cyclonic post, Briandot. Killer typhoons surely aren’t Welcome, but still a little Meteorology, Is. / A prayer for the longsuffering Philippinos.
