Default Taiwan Typhoon "Morakot"

*** Please keep this thread clean ***

Hi guys, some of you might have heard on the news about the recent Typhoon "Morakot" and its ruthless devastation on Taiwan that happened 4 days ago. I'm asking for the compassionate individuals who are kind enough to please donate money to help the needy people in Taiwan whose homes have been destroyed by the typhoon, leaving them homeless - even if it's only $0.01. If you are unable to donate at this time, please be kind enough to put the sufferers in your prayers.

Thank you so much,
God bless everyone.

yeah i was just reading on cnn that in some areas, the typhoon dropped around two times as much rain in one day as seattle gets in an entire year. the footage of flooding down south is just crazy to watch.

-> That same typhoon hit the Philippines, I think a week before. According to CNN; 10 (or more) were killed because of ravaged rains and mudslides all over the affected areas

^ Yes it did, basically flooded every Asian country it hit. Very devastating.

Thanks to everyone who has donated/prayed for the victims of the typhoon. Although most of their loss are permanent, the least we can do is help them recover materialistic things.

It's sad to see how one natural disaster can kill so many innocent lives that do not wish to die, yet some of us voluntarily wish death to others because of selfishness and greed.
