typhoon and hurricane

so Typhoon Nanmadol is predicted to make a landfall in Taiwan in the next few days
it's now a category 3 typhoon
it'll be the first typhoon to really affect Taiwan in 2011.

and on the other side on Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Irene is going go all the way up to New York along the east coast of the States.

airports in New York are closed.... so my brother's flight was canceled this morning...
