Actually 75% of their summer rain in 15 hrs. 9.8".  This coverage is crazy

I'm always amazed at the number of "I think we can make it thru" and "I hope the bridge is still there" people.

In addition to Vietnam setting it's all-time high, so did Laos and Thailand.  Cambodia set a new record for May. Hainan China set it's all time hottest temp.

What is causing that? A monsterous HP that became the "Heat Dome"?

Several die from flooding and landslides in Japan's "Heaviest rain ever" right around the same time of the NY/VT flood and northern India's flood.

This reminds me of the guy standing on his porch filming the tornado.  

Let me just stand here and film this tsunami coming through.

From the 10/5/23 article…

“Typhoon Koinu brought wind gusts of up to 95.2 metres per second, or 342.7km/h (212.9mph) when it crossed Taiwan’s outer Lanyu (Orchid) island on Wednesday night. The Central Weather Administration (CWA) told the Guardian it was the highest wind gust recorded in Taiwan since the organisation was founded in 1986. The gust destroyed the island’s anemometer, the CWA said.

The gust appears to be the third-strongest recorded globally. In 1996 Western Australia’s Barrow Island recorded a 408km/h gust, which broke the record set in 1934 when a 372km/h gust was recorded in the US on Mount Washington in New Hampshire.“
