Recent natural disasters

Recently, there have been a series of natural disasters in various countries. In Taiwan, Typhoon Morakot caused many homes to be damaged. On Page 6 of LRD (1/9/2209), we read that many Taiwanese have asked their president, Ma Ying-jeou, to resign because they felt that he responded too slowly after the typhoon struck.

In Greece and California, fires also damaged many homes recently. Experts said that these fires were probably caused by hot weather.

In Indonesia on Wednesday, a 7.0 magnitude quake shook buildings in the capital Jakarta and flattened homes in villages closer to the epicentre in West Java.
