My Way News - 9 dead, 23 missing after typhoon hits Taiwan
My Way News reports: "Record rains from a powerful typhoon caused massive landslides in Taiwan that buried a Buddhist temple and trapped vehicles on a highway, where one bus carrying 19 Chinese tourists was missing Friday [...] Megi was expected to hit China's southern Guangdong and Fujian provinces between Friday night and Saturday, meteorologists said."

Comment: You know that I try not to go overboard on noting weather events. Sometimes, weather is just weather. But I do think that record-breaking weather events are significant, especially if they are are part of a pattern (or a suggested pattern) related to global warming.
