I was taking a look at some of the statistics for 2011’s Typhoon season and came to realize how violent it really was. Four Super Typhoons and Twenty one named storms. In the Atlantic that would be on the edge of a record breaking season. Just a reminder of how savage our earth can be and how it can effect the western Pacific and Eastern Asia.
Below is a Chart showing all the storm tracks this past year, let me know if you fall under one of these tracks and what storm it was. Communicating your stories and how bad some of these storms were is one of the best ways to make people aware and ready for the fast approaching 2012 season.
