MANILA, Philippines (AP) - A powerful typhoon slammed into the northeastern Philippines on Sunday and was barreling across the main Luzon island toward the capital in a densely populated path where thousands have been evacuated to safety. Typhoon Noru hit the coastal town of Burdeos on Polillo Island in Quezon province shortly before nightfall. With sustained winds of 195 kilometers (121 miles per hour) and gusts of up to 240 kph (149 mph), it was expected to weaken slightly when it hits the Sierra Madre mountain range but will remain dangerously ferocious, forecasters said.

"If we fall into the water, I don’t know where I will end up with my children." The typhoon gained considerable strength from a storm with sustained winds of 85 kph (53 mph) on Saturday into a super typhoon just 24 hours later in an "explosive intensification" over the open sea, Vicente Malano, who heads the country’s weather agency, told The Associated Press.

What?? Do my eyes deceive me? Neither the excerpt or the full article use the word “Climate.” Something is not right here.
But, it’s a tropical paradise!
Let me guess...
This is the most powerful typhoon that has EVER struck the Philippines?
Typhhons and hurricanes and earthquakes and droughts and floods have been ubiquitous on earth million times longer than time span from birth of Christ to today.
Earth gets ice ages every 10-50 thousand years. Then global warming happens and ice age melts away. This is going on for Billion years or more. It is because one million spheres size of earth will fit inside volume of Sun.
Earth is puny compared to the Sun. And Sun has cycles of activity.
And humans are more puny compared to puny earth. Astronauts in orbit can not see any man made nade objects during day light.
PI is all islands!! where the hell are they evacuating to??
seriously the first time seeing this.. if true, thats a pretty big sun!! thanks for the visual!!
Hello?
For some reason 1.3 million seems to come to mind but I haven’t looked in a long time
What’s going on?
No climate change?
They probably forgot?!
Somebody should deplatform them! 😊

How big is the sun?
Jan 21, 2022 — About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the sun, according to NASA’s statistics
https://universeexplained.com/how-big-is-the-sun-compared-to-earth/
…Our Solar system consists of many celestial bodies – planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, moons, meteoroids, and the interplanetary medium. If we would combine all that mass, it would account for only 0,14%.
Where is the rest of the mass you might ask? Well – the Sun! Yep, our closest star – an average looking star by cosmic standards contains 99,86% of all the mass in our Solar system!…
The volume of the sun is about 1.3 million times the volume of the earth, but even the most closely-packed spheres only occupy about 74% of the volume into which they’re packed. For spheres the size of the earth being packed into a sphere the size of the sun, it’s about 958,000. Close enough to a million.
Looks like a direct hit on Clark and Subic. Typically hundreds of people die in this kind of Typhoon but otherwise this is a good country. Strange to see ‘President Marcos’ is in charge. Bizarre.
It takes that big size of Sun to execute nuclear fusion.
Which is why Sun has been functioning for 5 Billion years and will continue to emit energy for 5 Billion more years. After that its fuel will be all burned out, and it will morph into a red giant, gobble up earth, with less intense heat emission and die.
